Long story, but I work in infection prevention (like infectious disease, but I'm not a doctor). I was on the receiving end of care once. I was flying back home and had an large episode of vomiting in the rear bathroom. I'm pretty tall and the vomiting came on quickly so it ended up everywhere (I couldn't bend down enough to hit the toilet). It took me quite a while to clean up. I came out of the bathroom and told the flight attendants that they should close the bathroom to prevent other people from getting what I thought I had (I named off a bunch of likely viral candidates). This kind of freaked them out. They closed the bathroom and I returned to my seat. After 5 minutes the FA came back and said the pilot wanted this medical form filled out (demographics, symptoms etc). The FA left and another 10 minutes passed. They came back and said that ground medical operations wanted to ask some questions. The FA asked the questions and responded back to ground operations. After that, they decided they wanted EMS to come and meet the plane when we landed. The FAs announced this to the passengers and asked everyone to remained seated. Two EMS staff came on board and asked me what was going on. I told them and they asked if I wanted to go to the hospital to which I responded absolutely not. The whole ordeal was quite embarrassing. Needless to say, if you are an expert, don't use technical words, just say "I puked in there, you should close it."
