Narrative:

This event began as a medical situation. Approximately 1 1/2 hours after takeoff, a passenger reported that her 85 yr old mother was not feeling well. She had feeling of nausea and chest pain. The woman reporting (daughter) said her mother had taken 3 nitroglycerin pills prior to the flight, pain slightly subsided, now feeling like vomiting. No pain in arms, or lightheadedness, only severe nausea. Passenger appeared to have difficulty breathing, but did not claim such. This was reported by me to captain who in turn contacted corporate physician. Flight attendants continued to monitor passenger. A physician on board idented himself, but was unable to provide documentation or license. He spoke with passenger and monitored her as well visually. Decision was made by corporate medical to land. Captain informed me that we will be landing in glasgow. Passenger were informed. Corporate medical said nothing about monitoring ill passenger with aed, so it was not used. Our procedures do not allow flight attendants to use aed as monitor unless a physician requests it. Upon arrival in gla, a ramp stand was brought to the aircraft to deplane ill passenger and her 2 traveling companions. Another incident occurs. Upon deplaning the 3 passenger and medical staff, our captain noticed the brakes smoking and, at the same time, a fuel truck arriving at the aircraft. He demands truck be removed from area around aircraft for fear of a more serious situation. The captain tells me to evacuate/evacuation the passenger using the rampstand as the fire crew has now arrived at aircraft. The passenger are quickly and calmly evacuate/evacuationed. After approximately 2 hours, the aircraft is available for reboarding to continue to dfw.
