Narrative:

During cruise flight at FL350 we were advised of one of the passenger (an xa yr old woman) was complaining of nausea and low blood pressure. 2 well qualified surgeons volunteered to assist her and dispatch was advised. Dr XXX advised that this passenger was in critical condition and advised that we should get her to the hospital as soon as possible, the YYY physician concurred. The best diversion station was determined to be lima, peru and a clearance was obtained and the ETA was 1 hour 20 mins. The center tank fuel was dumped and the decision was made to land in lima at a gross weight of 330000 pounds. No one thought to give the second medical kit to the doctors since it is there primarily for re-dispatch and we were busy with diversion activities. If the flight attendants had known about it, they would have requested it because the doctors' main concern for the passenger was the lack of iv fluids. After landing in lima, the passenger was revived and there was a delay in her deplaning due to her refusal to leave. I was able to convince her to leave without calling security. Lima flight support completed the overweight landing inspection, fueling, and maintenance cabin cleanup where the sick passenger was lying after some delay due to their flight's departure needs. After diversion to lima, peru, and taking care of a sick passenger, we were only able to complete the necessary airplane inspections, fueling and cabin clean-up at XA20Z. We decided that we could only continue to miami due to concerns over pilot fatigue and not wanting to violate FAA duty time limitations. We were dispatched to and stopped in miami. Another flight crew continued the flight to chicago.
