Did this flight make an emergency landing?
Strange question, but someone I know has a very odd story about a plane that had to make an emergency landing due to an issue with a passenger. I have my doubts about the story, so I looked and can't find any record of such an emergency landing taking place.
He claims that United 6367 from Calgary to Denver on January 5, 2015 had to make an emergency landing due to a "medical emergency."
Is there somewhere to check to see if such a thing happened? I found this site, but no mention of this incident.

I'm assuming such an emergency landing didn't happen or there would be a record of it somewhere?

It looks like UA6367 wasn't even scheduled for YYC-DEN on Jan 5 but ORD-MSP at least according to flightaware

I never had any problem on my flight and we don't have any emergency landing. I continued on the flight, but we don't have worried about the passengers.

A passenger medical emergency would normally result in a diversion or landing at an unplanned airport. An emergency landing would almost always imply that something was wrong with the aircraft, although maybe diversions due to extremely bad weather would be considered emergencies.

I think what the OP's post is referring to is what is technically a priority landing due to a declared emergency. It is also referred to as an "emergency landing" which simply means that pilot is able to land the aircraft as quickly as possible and is given priority in the landing sequence.
If the medical emergency arose on enroute between YYZ and DEN it may have been that getting a priority landing and DEN was the best course of action.

Also it's not a rare occurance for emergency vehicles to meet aircraft upon landing or reaching the gate because of medical reasons. I see it almost daily in some fashion or another. I'm sure it seems like a big deal for there to be emergency vehicles surrounding your plane, but it actually happens quite frequently and not really a big deal the majority of the time.
