THERE WAS A PHYSICIAN ABOARD ASSISTING THE PAX AND PAX'S WIFE WAS SEATED NEXT TO ILL PAX. I IMMEDIATELY INFORMED THE CAPT IN THE COCKPIT AND ALSO THE #1 FLT 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 CAPT IF NECESSARY AS THE FLT ATTENDANTS ASSISTED THE PHYSICIAN IN THE MAIN CABIN. MOMENTS LATER; THE #1 FLT ATTENDANT INFORMED ME AND THE COCKPIT THAT WE WERE GOING TO NEED AN EMER MEDICAL LNDG. WE THEN BEGAN TO PREPARE THE CABIN; REMOVE TRAYS; PICK UP ITEMS; SAFETY COMPLIANCE; CALM PAX; AND LANDED APPROX 15 MINS LATER.
