Narrative:

A passenger, 52 yr female, became ill. She was attended to by 2 medical doctors. At first she was stable. About 30 mins into the event, I, the captain, was notified that the situation had elevated. She had a non-existent pulse and I was told the doctors needed an immediate phone patch to medical line. I determined, in the interest of this passenger's life, quick and accurate communication was needed. After determining no security threat existed, I invited one of the doctors into the flight deck to have direct communication with the company doctor. The 2 doctors immediately determined a strategy and the passenger's life was ultimately spared. The flight proceeded normally to the destination airport at jfk.
