Yes, coming back from Punta Cana 3 years ago. They thought a young man was having a heart attack and based on the reccomendation of the "doctor" on board we were diverted to MIA. Turns out he had just been hyperventilating. But we got to sit on the ground for almost three hours before we could leave. This was an Apple charter flight(never again!) and the crew was awful! No drinks, not even ice water for the passengers.
