I can't seem to find anything in my books to support either side.

To keep a player in the game after the 20-second interval to deal with a blood situation the 'team' has to request a time out. If the team doesn't call time out, the player has to come out. All of that should be resolved before even dealing with the media time out (it would be the same thing if A1 fouled out at a media time out...A1 has to be replaced before we can do anything else).
I'm e-mailing Debbie Williamson about it for a rule citation connected to this particular scenario but it makes sense.
