Narrative:
I really wasn't directly involved, however, I'll tell what I know to have occurred. Shortly after starting beverage service, a passenger confronted other flight attendant near aft galley stating his face was becoming 'numb and paralyzed' and he thought he was 'having an allergic reaction to the milk.' the flight attendant paged for a doctor. 4 call lights rang, 1 of which was directly in front of ill passenger. The doctor thought it was 'balles palsy(?)' and he could seek medical attention once in miami.
