Woman dies while in-flight; Airline disputes relative's tale

[AOII Angel]

From reading the reports on MSN.com, this woman was not feeling well all day and probably should not have flown. Unfortunately, you cannot treat a heart attack in the air. Defibrillators only work if you are in V Fib...she may not have been. Oxygen would have helped her be comfortable, but I don't think the airlines have a mandate to have O2 available. They aren't a hospital. You can't blame the airline for a patient's bad health and its complications. I also don't expect a patient's family member to be able to give a reliable accounting of the events given the stress of the situation. Also, if the family member has no medical training, how would he know if things were not done correctly?
