AN ACR SF340 HIT MODERATE TURB DURING THE FLC'S DSCNT AND THE CABIN ATTENDANT HIT HER HEAD. SHE DELAYED INFORMING THE FLC AND MAY HAVE SLOWED THE RESPONSE TIME FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT.

Narrative

TURB WAS ENCOUNTERED DURING DSCNT. SEAT BELT SIGN WAS ON. CABIN ATTENDANT WAS NOTIFIED TO BE SEATED IMMEDIATELY. TALKED TO CABIN ATTENDANT 2 TIMES TO CHK ON PAX AND CABIN. CABIN ATTENDANT CALLED TO SAY THAT SHE WAS FEELING DIZZY AND THAT SHE HAD BUMPED HER HEAD DURING TURB. ASKED IF SHE WANTED TO HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT HER WHEN WE LANDED; SHE SAID YES. 15 MINS HAD PASSED SINCE TURB AND WE WERE NOW APCHING FINAL. NOTIFIED COMPANY TO HAVE MEDICAL PEOPLE STANDING BY TO LOOK AT HER. EMER NOT DECLARED. CABIN ATTENDANT DIDN'T INDICATE SIT WAS BAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT EMER. MEDICAL PERSONNEL TOOK HER TO HOSPITAL. CABIN ATTENDANT SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED ME THAT SHE WAS INDEED BECOMING WORSE AFTER OUR ENCOUNTER WITH TURB. FLT HAD UP TO 10 COMPANY CABIN ATTENDANTS ONBOARD DEADHEADING FROM OUR DEP ARPT. ALTHOUGH SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS NOT FEELING WELL MINS BEFORE LNDG; AN EARLIER NOTIFICATION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MORE EXPEDIENT ARR AT DEST OR AN EMER COULD HAVE BEEN DECLARED. ONE OF THE DEADHEADING CABIN ATTENDANTS COULD HAVE TAKEN OVER HER DUTIES. KEEP IN MIND I TALKED TO THE CABIN ATTENDANT TWO OTHER TIMES PRIOR TO BEING NOTIFIED SHE WAS INDEED HURT OR NOT FEELING WELL. WITNESSES SAID THAT THE CABIN ATTENDANT PERFORMED SOME DUTIES AFTER WE HIT THE TURB. I DON'T THINK THAT THE CABIN ATTENDANT WAS CLR ON HER CONDITION AND THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED ME IMMEDIATELY THAT SHE FELT SHE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PERFORM HER DUTIES.
