When I observed a medical emergency on board a DL TATL flight that resulted in a diversion, the highly qualified doctor who helped was offered a seat in BE for the remaining flight segment, which was entirely appropriate.
There have been reported cases, IIRC on other USA carriers, of people getting free upgrades in the mail later as thanks, sometimes after requesting something if the medical emergency prevents them from enjoying the flight. LH has a program where doctors register in advance and document their credentials in return for some FF benefits.
