Once the door opens the ground staff is on the other side of the door with their radios in hand and they can call the paramedics. Although they are trained in first aid, FAs have only a limited experience in first aid but the paramedics are the best people to deal with it while on the ground. This OP got the help from a paramedic but her grouse is that the paramedics were called by the ground staff. What difference should it have made to her who called them?
From the OPs posts, she was minding the business of other passengers, looking to see who was being told to "wait a minute" for their drinks, or who was not getting drinks at all or which passengers where "complaining about their attitude". It is possible the FAs could have noticed her or even heard her ill-speaking them during the flight and understandably when the flight was over, the FAs just left it to the ground staff, not showing an interest in her problem that they otherwise might have even if they were not obliged to.
