A story about a passenger with chest pain. The airline uses medical advice from a service provided by an ER in Phoenix:
MedLink is a 24-hour medical-help hotline in the emergency room of Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix. A doctor provides recommendations for any inflight medical emergency or medical condition when advice is necessary. They assume responsibility for the actions of a Flight Attendant or medical volunteer when they are acting under the direction of MedLink.
