I personally agree with the judge's ruling.

I obviously wasn't there, but when they claim "if the illness was grave enough" then I assume if he was bleeding profusely then they'd act upon it in a different fashion.

Going from what is in the article in itself, things like "spots of blood" make me assume he's not really gushing any bodily fluids profusely.

Think about it. Most people freak when someone is losing a moderate amount of blood, and I assume flight attendants would to. Perhaps he was bleeding a bit, but I doubt he was in absolute danger.

I understand the need for proper medical attention, but there has to be a line somewhere. The man was clearly alert, standing, and while frightened, I doubt he was showing signs of dying any moment.
 
Ughh, I hate these "mental anguish" cases. Since when should someone's failure to have coping skills be anyone else's problem? Real mental anguish is watching your friends or family die in front of you, or being subjected to torture, or something along those lines. Not sitting in a comfy chair for 3 hours with a slightly damp crotch. Yes, it's stressing to not know if everything's 100% A-OK. That's life. Deal with it.

Well, there's also internal bleeding. But then you're looking to see if they're becoming pale, or dizzy.
 
What started off as a dream trip to a Southern paradise with his wife,
If his wife was along, why didn't he just ask her to look? Why have a stranger do it? Wouldn't that help to alleviate his mental anguish?

How can one not look at their own genitalia? Is this from being fat or something? Bad eye sight? But totally agree, I'd ask my wife waaay before asking random stewards/stewardesses.
