Frequently the Metro train is delayed because there is a sick passenger in a train ahead of it. What does this mean? Is the person unconscious? Woozy? Having a heart attack? Since these delays only last a few minutes, what is it that they do? Leave the person at the next station, or wait for paramedics? No one I've asked seems to know.

I commute to NYC everyday and this has actually happened to me. Normally when they say someone is sick its usually a serious situation that may need medical attention. When this occurs they stop at the next available station with paramedics waiting or coming.

If it is a medical emergency they will stop the train anywhere where medical personnel can attend the victim, so it is not necessarily at a station that the stop is made. It happens much more frequently than one would imagine.

Maybe it's just an excuse for being late that they think people will more easily accept.
