B737-300 CREW HAD A PAX MEDICAL EMER IN ZDV CLASS A AIRSPACE.

Narrative

ABOUT 40 MINS FROM LNDG AT COS; INFORMED OF MEDICAL SIT DEVELOPING IN COACH CABIN. OBTAINED INFO NEEDED FOR CONTACT WITH DISPATCH FROM FIRST FLT ATTENDANT WHO WAS IN CONTACT WITH COACH CABIN FLT ATTENDANTS RECEIVING INFO FROM PAX WITH MEDICAL CONDITION. PAX WHO WAS NURSE WAS ATTENDING PAX AND SUGGESTED WE SHOULD HAVE PARAMEDICS MEET ACFT ON ARR COS. WAS TOLD PAX HAD A MORPHINE DRIP GOING AND WAS FEELING WOOZY; BUT WAS OK AND OUT OF RESTROOM AND IN A SEAT IN LAST ROW COACH. ALL APPROPRIATE CONTACT WAS MADE AND AN UNEVENTFUL ARR FOLLOWED BY MEDICAL PAX REMOVAL BY PARAMEDICS OCCURRED AT BOS. WITH CREW IN VAN TO HOTEL WE WERE DISCUSSING THE EVENT AND IT WAS REVEALED THAT IN FACT UNBEKNOWNST TO ME THE MEDICAL PAX WAS UNABLE TO RETURN TO A SEAT PRIOR TO LNDG AND WAS IN AFT LAVATORY AND THE NURSE WHO WAS HELPING HIM WAS STANDING AT AFT LAVATORY DOOR TALKING TO HIM SO HE WOULD NOT PASS OUT AND SHE REFUSED REPEATED REQUESTS TO SIT IN A SEAT FOR LNDG. NO ONE WAS HURT BECAUSE WE MADE A SMOOTH LNDG AND DIDN'T JAM ON THE BRAKES; BUT I SURE WISH I HAD KNOWN THIS. I BRIEF CREW TO COMMUNICATE AND WORK AS A TEAM; BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS A BREAKDOWN IN COM AND THE CHAIN OF COM HAD TOO MANY LINKS TO FACILITATE INFO FLOW.
