Narrative:

During my 15 min walk-through in the cabin, mrs X, seated, stopped me, said her husband mr X was not feeling well. He was clammy and sweating. I said I would get her some cold towels. On my way back to the coach cabin, I noticed that mrs X was running to the back of the aircraft to get immediate assistance from flight attendant #1. We both arrived at mr X's seat at the same time. At this point, mr X was unconscious and not responding to my commands. We immediately vacated other passenger seated in the area and laid mr X flat. We followed our medical procedures and at this point, flight attendant #2 arrived at the scene. I mentioned to her this is code red, meaning that she is to obtain the first aid kit, enhanced medical kit, and the aed. I then delegated flight attendant #1 and #2 to remain with mr X and I immediately notified the captain and paged for a physician. Dr a, and dr B seated in the main cabin, and an rn responded to our request. Mr X experienced a probable heart attack and a number of seizures. Iv was inserted and aed was used. At this point, dr B said we needed to land immediately. Captain was notified and we landed in albuquerque, NM, within 20 mins time. Ground medical assistance came aboard and mr X was removed from aircraft and was admitted to a hospital. To remove mr X, a stretcher was needed, therefore, there was a delay in removing mr X because the ground medical personnel had to contact the fire department for a stretcher. The aisle chair/gurney was not the equipment to utilize due to the size and condition the passenger was in. The following emergency equipment used on board were: enhanced medical kit, first aid kit, aed, and a solid state oxygen unit. On arrival in dallas, we called the hospital to follow up on mr X's conditions and he was in stable condition and being evaluated by medical staff.
