Narrative

MEDICAL EMER. OUR LEAD FLT ATTENDANT CAME UP TO THE COCKPIT AND ADVISED THAT AN OLDER LADY WAS NAUSEATED AND FEELING FAINT AND HAD HER OXYGEN. I CONTACTED DISPATCH ASAP AND ADVISED THEM OF THE MEDICAL EMER. APPROX 5 MINS LATER; THE LEAD FLT ATTENDANT UPDATED US WITH THE PAX'S CONDITION. THE ILL PAX WAS STILL PRETTY NAUSEATED AND FAINT. AT THAT TIME I DECIDED TO DECLARE A MEDICAL EMER WITH ATC. CTR GAVE US DIRECT DJB VOR DIRECT CLE. APPROX 5-10 MINS LATER; THE ILL PAX STARTED IMPROVING. WAS ADVISED THAT SHE WAS ALERT AND TALKING WITH THE LEAD FLT ATTENDANT. I ADVISED THE FLT ATTENDANT WE COULD DIVERT IF THE PAX'S CONDITION CHANGED. THE LEAD FLT ATTENDANT THOUGHT THE PAX WAS WELL ENOUGH TO CONTINUE TO CLE. ADVISED DISPATCH AND HAD DISPATCH CALL CLE TO HAVE THE PARAMEDICS MEET THE ACFT. WE HAD PRIORITY HANDLING BY ATC TO CLE. LANDED AT CLEVELAND AND TAXIED TO GATE AND PARAMEDICS CAME ON BOARD AND TOOK PAX OFF OF ACFT AND TO THE HOSPITAL. WE HAD NO MEDICAL/PARAMEDICS ONBOARD DURING FLT. I THOUGHT THE FLT ATTENDANTS DID A GOOD JOB HANDLING THE MEDICAL SIT. ATC GAVE US GREAT SVC. I HANDLED ALL THE COMS BTWN DISPATCH AND FLT ATTENDANT WHILE THE FO DID THE FLYING AND COMS WITH ATC.
