Narrative

MEDICAL EMER/UNAUTH PERSON IN COCKPIT. FLYING AS PIC ON FLT ABC; AUS-RDU; THE 'A' FLT ATTENDANT INFORMED ME THAT SHE HAD A 70 YR OLD FEMALE PAX GOING IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS. THE FLT ATTENDANT TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO PUT THE PAX ON OXYGEN AND CALL COMPANY CONTRACTED MEDICAL ADVISOR THROUGH THE CABIN PHONE SYS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE 'A' FLT ATTENDANT TOLD ME SHE COULDN'T GET THE CABIN PHONE SYS TO WORK AND REQUESTED ME TO GET A PATCH THROUGH DISPATCH. CALLING DISPATCH THROUGH THE ATSCALL SYS; THEY PATCHED US THROUGH TO THE DOCTOR. I PASSED ALONG ALL THE INFO I HAD ON THE PAX AND INFORMED THE DOCTOR THAT WE HAD A NURSE ONBOARD THAT WAS ASSISTING THE ILL PAX. THE DOCTOR INDICATED TO ME HE NEEDED MORE INFO AND REQUESTED TO TALK DIRECTLY TO THE NURSE. BEING IN A NON CRITICAL PHASE OF FLT (CRUISE) I FELT IT WAS NECESSARY FOR THE DOCTOR TO TALK TO THE NURSE SO HE COULD MAKE AN INFORMED JUDGEMENT ON THE CONDITION OF OUR PAX. I HAD THE NURSE COME ONTO THE FLT DECK AND TALK DIRECTLY TO THE DOCTOR ON THE ACFT RADIO. THEY CAME TO THE CONSENSUS THAT THE PAX WAS STABLE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE TO RDU WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE PARAMEDICS STANDING BY.
