Narrative

PAX IN MID CABIN COMPLAINED THAT HIS SODA WAS MAKING HIM SICK -- IT SMELLED STRANGE. UPON INSPECTION; IT SMELLED LIKE KEROSENE. PAX STATED THAT HE VOMITED AND WAS HAVING STOMACH PAINS. ON ADVISE FROM MEDICAL (ON GND DFW); WE LANDED IN YQM AND SENT PAX TO HOSPITAL. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION; PAX BROUGHT THE SUBSTANCE AND HAS 'A RECORD' OF THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATED THAT SHE CHKED BACK WITH THE COMPANY AND THIS PAX HAS DONE THIS SAME SCAM 26 TIMES BEFORE. HE DOES IT QUITE REGULARLY. HE WAS QUITE INDIGNANT AND DID NOT WANT THE FLT TO STOP FOR HIM. BUT HIS COMMENTS MADE IT SEEM THAT HE NEEDED HELP FAST FROM THE SYMPTOMS EXPRESSED. RPTR SAID THAT HE GAVE NO REAL PHYSICAL INDICATIONS OF ACTUAL DISCOMFORT; IT WAS ALL VERBAL. WHEN HE WAS RELEASED AT THE ARPT HE WAS TOLD HE WOULD HAVE TO FIND HIS OWN WAY TO DEST.
