Convention first aid staff is not equipped to handle complex issues. I wouldn't trust my child to them or expect them to treat her. I might trust them to apply a bandaid.
This is a non-issue for me. The Watchtower truthfully said they weren't capable. What makes us think they should be? or would be? The WT is a religious institution, not a health-care facility. IF we want to find issues to address, let's look for real issues. This is no more than a temper tantrum and a misdirected one at that.
The WTS may say there are not capable but do they allow jws to call 911 (or equivalent) when a family member is having severe medical problems (or for an unknown person who drops on the floor and starts shaking?)

Accidents and Emergencies: If a medical emergency arises at the convention site, please contact a nearby attendant, who will immediately notify First Aid so that our qualified first-aid personnel can assess the seriousness of the situation and render assistance. If it is necessary, our first-aid personnel will call 911. This will prevent emergency-response services from receiving many cell-phone calls.
Disgust. Christian "LOVE" - by their fruits you shall know them.
There was a Kingdom Ministry article some years ago that essentially advised those with chronic issues to stay home from conventions, as there is no one to care for them at these gatherings.
I can't locate the article as it is not on WT Library. Maybe someone recalls the wording.
From Blondie:

I am just dumbfounded at this; the WT doesn't want people calling 911 when they see someone on the ground having a heart attack? They should wait for the attendant?
Well, f**k that.
"Prevent emergency-response services from receiving many cell phone calls"?
I think they probably are used to being flooded by calls during an event.
Is there NO part of life they won't stick their noses into?
