One item that doesn't seem to have entered into anyone's calculations, including the pilot's: the deposit of (ahem) raw sewage on the floor of the plane. If I were a passenger I think I would have wanted the pilot to divert even if the original patient was fully stabilized.

Depending on the choice of diversion locations and capabilities for flight continuation and accomodation, alternatives may have been worse than a carpeted stool sample which could be neutralised with a disinfecting cleanser -- alcohol or bleach, say.
