I also did not say I had left the aircraft, you need to read the post again.
You don't say what you mean by rude or give any example for someone reading your post to agree with you that they were rude or anything about their attitude other than they did not bring you tissues after you had left the aircraft.
Incidentally, basic first aid is that you don't wipe the blood from a bleeding cut to see the extent of the injury. You get the blood to clot first. Wiping the blood only allows more bleeding. Instead you hold something against the cut to close it up and stop the bleeding.

Ok you obviously did not read to the part where I said I was a Flight Attendant for 10 years. I am well aware of where the crew responsibility stops, do not speak me to like I'm a child. I am well aware of aviation medicine and first aid on the ground, when you cannot get the blood flow to stop no matter how much you apply pressure, you need to keep supplies at hand and as my son had a great big cut on his forehead the blood flow was quite amazing.
My son fell as we were walking up the aisle, he tripped over blankets that were left on the floor between the seats, sticking out in to the aisle. I always hold his hand and trust me if I hadn't been holding his hand he probably would have had a broken nose as he hit the seat back, the very corner of it.
If a Flight Attendant is tutting and complaining I am making them late, then yes that is considered being rude. Inflight I heard passengers ask for drinks, water mainly and they were bascially snapped at, "in a minute". We all understand the food issue, that not everyone gets a first choice, so that me isn't considered rude, but how you tell a passenger that their first choice isn't available can make the difference to the passenger.
Oh and by the way, the ground staff actually came on the aircraft to see what had happened, and called on the radio from there for a paramedic.
