CABIN ATTENDANT RPT; B767-200; LAX-IAD. AT CRUISE LEVEL; ILL PAX TAKEN TO HOSPITAL ON ARR.

Narrative

BASICALLY; THE PAX INVOLVED HAD A FAMILY MEMBER COME TO A CREW MEMBER TO TELL US THAT SHE WAS LETHARGIC; ALMOST TO BEING PASSED OUT. ANOTHER CREW MEMBER CAME TO GET ME; SINCE SHE WAS HAVING A MEDICAL SIT AND MY BEING AN RN. I PERFORMED AN ASSESSMENT AND DETERMINED THAT THE PAX AFFECTED WAS COMING TO NORMAL BEHAVIORAL FUNCTIONING. THE FOLLOWING ARC OF MY ASSESSMENT: 1) PEERLA [PUPILS EQUALLY ROUND; REGULAR; RELATIVE TO LIGHT ACCOMMODATION]; LETHARGIC STUPOR TO WALKING IN CABIN; 2) REFLEXES IMPROVED AFTER INCIDENT AND HEADACHE. I DETERMINED NOT TO PAGE FOR A DOCTOR BECAUSE OF THE IMPROVING CONDITION OF PAX. IF PAX WOULD DECLINE; I WOULD HAVE PAGED A DOCTOR; AND COCKPIT WOULD THEN DECIDE TO LAND PLANE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THAT THE ILL PAX'S BROTHER SAID THAT THE WOMAN HAD HAD A MINI-STROKE THE MONTH BEFORE; AND THAT HER DOCTOR HAD ADVISED HER NOT TO TRAVEL BY PLANE. THE RPTR DID KEEP THE COCKPIT CLOSELY ADVISED OF THE SIT; IN CASE THEY HAD TO DIVERT. BY THE TIME THEY DECIDED NOT TO DIVERT; THEY WERE ALREADY AN HR FROM LNDG; WHERE THE PAX AND HER DOCTOR LIVED. PARAMEDICS MET THE PLANE AND SHE WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL; WHERE SHE LATER DIED.
