I also in the post 9/11 era you can't just say "I need 3 strong men to come into the cockpit and get the pilot out" as this creates probably a protocol violation as well as potential safety issues for the rest of the passengers on board.
I have drug many 300 pound people out of cramped bathrooms and bedrooms into an open area where resuscitation efforts could begin. I don't want to armchair quarterback this I am just completely curious.
I don't envy what you do, but I honor and respect it.
The nurse / FA was an ER nurse to boot, according to someone who knows.
I'm sure, given the difficult circumstances, they did everything they could do to help their colleague.
