Narrative

FLT X REACHED CRUISE ALT; AND LUNCH SVC BEGAN. A PAX COMPLAINED OF A PAIN IN HIS R LOWER BACK AND IN HIS FRONT GROIN AREA; R SIDE. I GAVE HIM A PILLOW AND ASKED IF HE KNEW WHAT IT COULD BE. HE SAID HE HAD A HISTORY OF CALCIUM DEPOSITS AND KIDNEY STONES. HE WAS PERSISTENTLY IN PAIN; LOOKED PALE AND PASTY. HE WAS VOMITING AND NEEDED TO BE MOVED TO THE FIRST CLASS GALLEY FLOOR. HE COULD NOT GET RELIEF. A DOCTOR WAS PAGED. AN OB/GYN AND NURSE PRACTITIONER ASSISTED. CAPT X HAD A DIALOGUE WITH DR AND DECIDED TO LAND IN RDU. PARAMEDICS CAME ON BOARD AND PAX WENT TO LCL HOSPITAL. I WAS WITH PAX THE WHOLE TIME. I PLACED COLD AND WET TOWELS ON HIS HEAD AND NECK. GAVE HIM CRUSHED ICE AND JUST COMFORTED HIM UNTIL WE LANDED. I CALLED OUR AIRLINE TO FILE MY CAPT'S DECISION WAS A GOOD ONE. THE PAX WAS IN MUCH PAIN AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DENIED BOARDING. ALL PAX MISSED CONNECTIONS UPON ARR INTO MIAMI. CAPT'S DECISION TO LAND WAS BASED ON: THE PAX WAS SUFFERING AND GETTING WORSE; VOMITING MORE FREQUENTLY AND IN MORE PAIN. HE COULD NOT SIT UPRIGHT. NO ONE DIAGNOSED THE PAX'S PROB; THEY ONLY SUGGESTED WHAT IT MIGHT BE. IN THE PAX'S BEST INTEREST FOR GOOD HEALTH AND IMMEDIATE TREATMENT; THE CAPT DECIDED TO LAND. THE PAX'S FAMILY WAS NOTIFIED BY PAX SVC AND BY ME. I CALLED HIS FATHER AND SPOKE TO HIM PERSONALLY AND TO HIS SISTER. I CALLED 2 DAYS LATER TO SEE HOW HE WAS; AND HE WAS ON PAIN MEDICATION AND HOME IN NEW YORK.
