THE FLT ATTENDANT IN CHARGE INFORMED ME THAT A PAX HAD BECOME ILL. AFTER THE FLT ATTENDANTS HAD TAKEN CARE OF THE SICK PAX'S INITIAL NEEDS; I WENT AFT TO TALK TO THE PAX PERSONALLY. AFTER LEARNING THAT THE PAX WAS STILL FEELING SOMEWHAT ILL; AND THAT SHE WAS TAKING SEVERAL MEDICATIONS FOR HEART FIBRILLATION PROBS; I REQUESTED THAT THE CHIEF FLT ATTENDANT MAKE A PA REQUESTING THE ASSISTANCE OF ANY ONBOARD DOCTOR AND/OR NURSE. A MEDICAL DOCTOR VOLUNTEERED HIS SVCS AND EVALUATED THE SICK PAX. WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE DOCTOR HAD OBTAINED VALUABLE INFO FROM THE PAX; WHICH I THOUGHT THAT HE COULD BEST PASS ON TO MY ACR'S MEDICAL AUTHS. BY HIS PRESENCE IN THE COCKPIT; I EXERCISED CAPT'S EMER AUTH FOR HIS (DOCTOR'S) ADMISSION TO THE COCKPIT. RADIO COMS WERE ESTABLISHED WITH MY ACR AND THE ONBOARD DOCTOR PROVIDED VALUABLE MEDICAL INFO TO GND PERSONNEL. ALL PARTIES CONCERNED (ME; THE ONBOARD DOCTOR; PAX; FLT ATTENDANTS; MEDICAL PERSONNEL; AND THE NY DISPATCHER) CONCURRED THAT THE FLT SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEST.
