A similar thing happened to a colleague of mine while on a short haul from TPE to Mainland China on CI. He was the only doctor onboard and the case was a severe myocardiac infarction.It turned out he had to perform CPR for the remaining portion of the flight (it was too late into the flight to turn back). According to him, this was what CI did:
1. both he and the patient were moved to Biz class during that unfortunate flight.
2. he was listed as their VIP from then on, always getting free upgrades to C and sometimes F for long haul flights when there was availability (he never had to ask).
3.he was also given free mileage as compensation.
From what I know, he was mighty grateful for the VIP status.
