Something similar happened in 1995 on QR Citytrain when we were returning
from Roma St to Kingston. I can't remember which station it was but the
train stopped for a while, an announcement was made for anyone with medical
training to come up to the front car and about 10-15 minutes later an
ambulance arrived. All the time announcements were made and obviously the
situation was dealt with quickly and efficiently.
