Narrative:

Passenger seated in seat X appeared to be having a seizure. I went to first class and told #1 flight attendant. I obtained the oxygen while #1 flight attendant paged for a doctor. An md came forward from seat Y to assist. I got the medical kit and my flashlight (doctor asked for it for pupils). Myself and the #3 flight attendant landed with the passenger to help the doctor with the oxygen. We landed and paramedics met the flight and took the passenger.
