Sounds like a training book response harry but lacking common sense, I repectfully disagree. I do agree that in most situations this is the first go to resource and i agree with the rest of your actions, but I would call med link last. How are you going to talk to med link while talking to ATC, make a PA and get back to the gate? Talking to med link will be a time consuming conversation, the other actions will take seconds. Get ATC help and request immediate medical assistance and clearance back to the gate, PA for doctor or nurse on board, crew to use the defib and then call med link when you've done all you can do and tick the boxes....time is critical for that scenario.
