I have been on 3 flights with medical emergency's, and not once was I ask to show proof.
my mom is an RN and always introduces herself to the lead FA as an RN when she boards, and is always thanked, even upgraded a few times.
On my med emerg flight, both had their credentials, so not sure what would have happened if they didn't have credentials on them. From a risk management perspective, I understand why AA would want to check credentials before letting someone treat a distessed passenger.
