Actually Chicaga kind of hit the nail on the head.
The guy I knew who this happened to spent a little time observing the FA and determined that during the boarding process, she seemed completely fine and what happened in the jetway was a little 'dramatic'.
He more or less said, "Well, if you need to seek medical attention, let me know and I'll arrange it with ops."
Turns out that one of the other flight attendants notified the captain discretely that she's been trying to get off the trip for a few days for one reason or another and had a recurring 'absenteeism' problem.
Now if the captain had kicked her off the trip, it'd been a lot easier to justify it to her supervisor because of the captain's authority. But if she called in sick mid-trip for a questionable injury, it would have been another issue entirely in reference to her 'absenteeism'.
Just something to think about!
