Narrative

THE DESSERT CARTS HAD PULLED OUT OF THE GALLEY; WHEN I HEARD A THUD IN THE AISLE ON THE L HAND SIDE. I THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED TO THE CART. I WENT IN TO THE AISLE. A PAX WAS LYING ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE LAVATORY DOOR; L HAND SIDE/BUSINESS CLASS; ON HIS BACK; WITH HIS HEAD TOWARD AFT OF ACFT. I RUSHED TO HIM AND INQUIRED IF HE WERE ALL RIGHT. HE RAISED HIS R HAND AND SAID 'I'M ALL RIGHT.' THE AISLE FLT ATTENDANT WAS STANDING AT HIS FEET. I REACHED DOWN UNDER HIS SHOULDERS TO ASSIST HIM RISING. FLT ATTENDANT #7 REACHED FOR HIS HAND. HE GOT IN HIS SEAT AND I RETURNED TO THE GALLEY. SOMEONE SAID A PHYSICIAN NEEDED TO BE PAGED. I DID NOT SEE WHAT HAD OCCURRED TO WARRANT THIS ACTION. I HEARD LATER IT WAS LIKE A SEIZURE. I PAGED; NO ONE CAME FORWARD. THE PAX WAS VERY HOT. I OFFERED COLD TOWELS. HE BEGAN THROWING UP. IT WAS NOT CONVULSIVE; BUT CONSTANT. THE PAX REQUESTED TO LET HIM GET OFF. HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO PARIS IN THIS CONDITION. WE LANDED AT JFK AND THIS PAX DEPLANED WITH ASSISTANCE OF EMT'S.
