Narrative:

When I returned from my break, I was informed that a passenger was not well, and may have been under the influence. When I checked on her, I was told by #12 flight attendant. She had fainted, and was given cold towels, oxygen, and water. She was not responding. They left her with her husband. I asked the husband if she was better. He said no, I called her by name. She didn't turn in my direction. I also noticed she was combative, had soiled herself, and was weak on right side, which are signs of a stroke. I paged for a doctor, and more equipment. The doctor (passenger) agreed it was a stroke. We landed at shannon, ireland. Doctor went to hospital with passenger.
