Narrative:
We aborted the takeoff. The outside temperature was 106 degrees F. 2 collapsed tires and a hot engine precluded retrying takeoff. We evacuate/evacuationed via a ramp stand at the forward entry door only. While waiting for the ramp stand/busses to arrive, we had a medical incident of a passenger with high blood pressure. We called and received paramedic assistance while all the passenger were still on board. The passenger deplaned with all other passenger via the ramp stand to a bus after paramedic treatment. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter corrected the date of the incident -- may instead of june. She was the lead flight attendant. She thinks they aborted the takeoff due to an engine overheat. The man, exhibiting the heart problems, was just extremely nervous and hot. The flight was canceled and the passenger rebooked.
