Don't expect too much assistance from the airline except for a wheelchair to and from the airplane, for an additional fee. As BTK said there are air ambulances available. A few years ago the fee for such was $20,000 from Florida to Boston. Good luck in whatever you decide.
I paid $8900 for door to door....private ambulance jet with doctor and nurse aboard.
