Narrative:

After takeoff from porte verga, mexico and climbing through 25000 ft MSL, our flight engineer grabbed my arm and told me to get the aircraft to the nearest united states airport, he needed to go to the hospital. (After that he became disoriented and passed out.) the captain did the navigation work and flew the aircraft. I called ny commercial radio and phone patched with the company, medical link, and worked flight engineering panel from my seat. After deciding to go and land at dfw first, and then deciding to land at san antonio next because it was closer, upon landing at the unscheduled airport the FAA, among others, met the aircraft and asked for our current address. I had written the FAA once before about a change of address and haven't heard anything. So I gave them my old address in los angeles. Since then I have written the FAA again, 2ND request. 30 days have passed. I still haven't heard anything.
