Narrative:

En route to phx, approximately 1 1/2 hours out, a flight attendant came up to the cockpit. He reported a passenger (female in her 70's) was anxious, with 'heart racing,' and that she was on nitro glycerin. He checked back later, saying her pulse was normal, respiration ok, and that he had placed her on oxygen. She walked off the plane on her own. The flight attendant had checked the first class manifest for a doctor, without success. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that he believes that the flight attendant just checked the first class manifest to see if a doctor was listed. He believes that the flight attendant did not page for a doctor after he saw none was listed on the first class manifest.
