I pleaded with them to get my bag to me so I could put a fresh battery in my wife's machine. During this time they had pulled the Jetway away from the A/C and were preparing to have it push back. Mr. McDonald and the "suit" went out the Jetway and down the stairs to the A/C cargo hold and had a baggage handler remove my bag and they returned to where we were at the gate attendant station and handed me the bag.

You have been treated very badly, but typical of the standards of service of the big airines in the US. It will get worse when United are allowed to merge with Continental. However, I wanted to comment on the scenario you outline above. Many airline employees would have allowed that aircraft to go without retrieving your oxygen concentrator batteries. Think yourself lucky you were not on Delta.
It is also important to be realistic about your demands. No corporation is going to come to your house to make a personal apology, and film the apology for you. If you make unrealistic demands, they are more likely to ignore your complaint or write you off as a crank. The best you can hope for is an apology and perhaps some pratically worthless vouchers.
