MEDICAL EMER INFLT; ACFT DIVERTED AND LANDED OVERWT. RPTR CAPT SUGGESTS USING AIRPHONE FOR ONBOARD DOCTOR TO COMMUNICATE DIRECT WITH CORPORATE DOCTOR FROM ILL PAX SEAT.

Narrative

WE WERE AT FL370 ABOUT 180 MI NW OF ABQ WHEN THE FLT ATTENDANT ADVISED THAT A PAX WITH A HISTORY OF CARDIAC PROBS WAS FEELING ILL. WE REQUESTED PHYSICIANS ONBOARD AND 2 DOCTORS AND 1 NURSE RESPONDED. I ELECTED TO HAVE 1 DOCTOR COME TO THE COCKPIT TO USE COMPANY RADIO TO TALK TO THE DISPATCHER WHO RELAYED TO COMPANY MEDICAL DOCTOR. THE COMPANY DOCTOR ADVISED US TO LAND TO GET THE PAX MEDICAL CARE. AT THAT TIME COS WAS CLOSEST. LANDED AT COS AT 207700C LBS. SMOOTH TOUCHDOWN; NO BRAKES USED UNTIL 60 KTS. ACCOMPLISHED OVERWT INSPECTION AND DEPARTED. DIFFICULT TO COMMUNICATE WITH CORPORATE MEDICAL INFLT. HAVING CORPORATE MEDICAL AVAILABLE THROUGH DISPATCH IS GOOD BUT WHAT WOULD WORK REALLY WELL IS LETTING A DOCTOR OR NURSE WHO CAME FORWARD DURING AN INFLT MEDICAL PROB TALK DIRECTLY TO THE CORPORATE DOCTOR. I COULD USE MY CREDIT CARD IN THE AIRPHONE AND THE CORPORATE DOCTOR COULD TALK DIRECTLY TO THE VOLUNTEER MEDICAL PERSONNEL RIGHT AT THE SEAT OF THE ILL PAX. I DO NOT SEE WHY WE CANNOT SET THE SYS UP TO WORK THIS WAY.
