[ QUOTE ]
Thirty minutes prior to pushback, you hear a scream and a flight attendant gets her hand crushed by the lavoratory door in a freak accident.

She's obviously in pain and is visually distraught.

Her hand is also starting to swell horribly.

Situational Facts:

(a) She's out of sick time (would not be compensated for missing the trip)
(b) Single mother
(c) Thirty minutes prior to "pushback"
(d) Departure city is an 'outstation' (not at a flight attendant base)

I'd treat her like a Queen. First, I'd give her two sets of keys. One for my car, and the other for my house. I'd tell her to go, relax, and not worry about a thing. I'd tell her to feel free to put ice on it (plenty in the freezer). Also, I'd give her my credit card if she needed to buy anything while I was gone for the trip. And finally, after I got back from the trip, I'd pay in cash the same amount as she would have made had she done the trip.
