No! With my hairbrush and I let no one die. Too Easy.
Frankly I am amazed at some of the responses. The call bell is their to summon a crew member. If they don't like that then they should not be doing the job. If someone told me that my request for a drink was no an emergency - I would say to her/him that to my throat it was and that if they actually bothered to check on their passengers I would not have needed to ring the thing in the first place.
All that said I have not needed to do so as mostly there has been someone stop by to see if anything was required. I have found the FAs to be obliging. I actually have not had anyone on AA be as rude as some of the examples here.
What is extraordinary is that people seem to have a problem dealing with situations and do not speak up at the time. They seem to have little problem articulating their indignation here in the anonymity of the internet.
