It was the FA seat. It was odd to have this situation while the passengers in 1EF gazed casually on while munching their dinners.

I stabilized her C-spine and airway until she recovered and then (an off-duty EMT had showed up to assist) tended to her wound while we waited for EMS to arrive. It took about 2hrs for the whole thing to transpire and I missed my flight. I was booked in a budget coach fare, and when I went back to the line to try and rebook (covered in blood) the agent said, "Doctor I just saw what happened and I will rebook you on the next flight out on any airline, first class." It was great. One of those times where you do your duty, and it pays off.
Wow - that makes my experience sound pretty dull! Nice going! I hope to have no repeat performances.
