We have procedures in our school where if someone faints, they are collected by the office staff in a wheel chair.
Now, I'm not saying that the teacher hasn't done the wrong thing, but as it was a fill-in teacher it's possible that this teacher was not made aware of medical issues. It often happens in a school where it's only the teachers regularly in contact with a particular student that get informed of the problems and everyone else can end up finding themselves highly embarrassed by the fact that they simply aren't aware of things that they really should be.
Also, the teacher has a duty of care to the whole class and can't just leave the entire class to take one student to sick bay. Sending a student to get help would have been a better approach.
I think that it's still worth talking to the school about the issue, though.
