Yeah, I was looking to clarify if there was some sort of medical control available.
I know for a fact that some airlines do have an on-call physician (the medical director for my paramedic program was one years ago, in addition to providing state-wide medical control for all flight based EMS services), I was just curious if the OP's airline did.
We have medical service, and they are called in an emergency if necessary(is not like they are in standby just for a plane to call them), but usually we first ask for a doctor onboard. It seems that AA first call their doctor as a procedure, it has surprised me, but it´s pretty logical if you ask me.
