C RT is not the standard compensation, however, sometimes it is given out by customer service.

It is not only a question of speed. During a night flight, the crew cannot identify a doctor onboard at all, if he/she is sleeping and consequently does not react to the announcement. Happened on my last medical emergency, where I was the only one helping for the first time. Later a doctor came to the galley to get something to drink and then helped me.

I'm sure that - when you register for the miles - you allow LH to wake you up whenever there is an emergency.
