Narrative:

Discovered passenger seated in [near rear cabin] with his genitals exposed and alerted flight attendant C for assistance. This passenger was an aisle chair passenger and I assembled the onboard wheelchair and brought it to seat. The passenger was very frail and had been sleeping and slumped over most of the flight; he couldn't shift onto the chair. Flight attendant B transferred the passenger onto the chair and we took him back to the lavatory. I had to assist lifting the passenger to his feet with the C flight attendant. The C flight attendant then had to back him into the lavatory and lower him onto the toilet because the passenger didn't have the strength to use the assist bar.he should not have been allowed to travel without assistance and asking a non-rev employee to sit across from him was not enough. I should not have to lift a passenger and I felt I had no say in his boarding because of the supervisor push that he had already traveled from boston and he was cleared by medlink. He was slumped over and very frail even in the boarding area and I wonder if medlink was aware of all the medicines he was taking because he had a garbage bag full in his suitcase.we spent most of the flight checking if he was still breathing. He was extremely frail and slumped over sleeping most of the flight. He clearly needed someone to administer his numerous medications and keep him hydrated. I wonder if medlink was aware of all his medication and all the travel; 10 plus hours; he was planning. The nurse practitioner stated he had parkinson's; aids and something I can't recall. He didn't eat; drink; or take any of his scheduled medicine and was barely responsive. He did perk up a bit when we put him on oxygen.
