The best reward is the ability to offer help to ensure a patient is alive till the EMTs take over. Most FAs are well trained and give great support in an emergency.
Just 'karma' would be great!!!
Those in the medical professions are obligated to respond to the extent of their abilities. Doing so with any expectation of a reward would be obscene.
I am a DVM, and that means no, I'm not a "real doctor". i just do dogs and cats. But I've jumped up to help when needed, and have done so on flights when there was no one from the human medical side available. My experience has been that FAs and those in need are always appreciative.
Reward? Compensation? Recognition? Sorry, not intrested.
