The individual was very sick and, IMHO, should not have been flying on a commercial plane. Air ambulance comes to mind.

While I sympathized with the individual, I asked myself why the individual did not book the correct seat in F. Oh well..

There are folks that book and seat and then expect others to accommodate them, as is the case in the above story.
