Narrative:

I was in the galley putting up trays. Passenger call lights went on, then the phone call light went on. I was informed that a passenger in seat 23B was apparently having a seizure. There was a physician aboard assisting the passenger and passenger's wife was seated next to ill passenger. I immediately informed the captain in the cockpit and also the #1 flight attendant who immediately went to the main cabin. I viewed the main cabin and remained in first class to assist if necessary, and to inform captain if necessary as the flight attendants assisted the physician in the main cabin. Moments later, the #1 flight attendant informed me and the cockpit that we were going to need an emergency medical landing. We then began to prepare the cabin, remove trays, pick up items, safety compliance, calm passenger, and landed approximately 15 mins later. Paramedics removed the passenger on aisle chair, the wife also deplaned and we then set up for another departure to dfw. All flight attendants, including myself remained calm and composed, reassured passenger on board, and a first class passenger and companion offered to switch seats with the ill passenger if necessary. In this particular incident, the ill passenger appeared to be unconscious so this was not accomplished nor necessary.
