Narrative:

On and during landing rollout on runway 28R at sfo, flight attendant in charge pounded on cockpit door declaring an immediate need for medical doctor to aid a passenger. The first officer was occupied with this problem as we turned onto the high speed exit (T) and I acknowledged a transmission from tower thought to clear us across runway 28L. The confusion and extraneous conversation distracted by attention and my first notice of something amiss was as we were entering runway 28L when I saw an medium large transport aircraft moving quite slowly towards us. Simultaneously the tower began to inquire about our understanding of the clearance. Supplemental information from acn 244404: during the approach, at approximately 2500 ft AGL, the flight attendant called the cockpit. Call was ignored due to sterile cockpit procedures. Flight attendant again called the cockpit and knocked on the door and was admitted to the cockpit. She advised the pilots of the immediate need for a doctor due to a medical emergency. The first officer was discussing the severity of the problem with the a-line flight attendant. During this discussion the captain acknowledged the tower taxi instructions. There was confusion as to taxi instructions issued. First officer heard hold short and the captain thought he heard cleared to cross. Both pilots were distracted because of the discussion about the medical emergency. Captain called the tower upon arrival at operations to discuss the problem. Tower said that no further action was to be taken concerning the runway incursion. The medical emergency was found to be very minor and was handled by the gate agent.
