Narrative

WHILE IN GALLEY READY TO START SVC; I HEARD 2-3 CALL LIGHTS GO ON ALL AT ONCE. I LOOKED IN CABIN TO SEE; AND SAW IN LAST ROW A MAN IN FULL SEIZURE -- VIOLENT SHAKING AND JERKING AND FOAMING DOWN THE CHIN. I RAN TO HIM AND SAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I RAN TO #1 FLT ATTENDANT IN GALLEY AND TOLD HER. SHE WENT TO HIM AND BY THEN; #2 AND #4 FLT ATTENDANTS CAME UP FROM COACH (CURTAIN ALWAYS OPEN NOW). WHILE THEY TENDED TO HIM; I CALLED THE CAPT AND STAYED ON PHONE FOR A WHILE RELAYING THE INFO TO HIM. THEN #2 FLT ATTENDANT GOT THE OXYGEN AND THE MEDICAL KIT AND EMER MEDICAL BAG OUT ON FLOOR. THEN #1 FLT ATTENDANT PAGED FOR A DOCTOR AND A MAN CAME FORWARD AND SHOWED HIS IDENT TO US; AND STARTED CHKING THE MAN. AFTER A FEW MINS; HE STOPPED THE SEIZURE BUT SEEMED STILL NOT FULLY AWARE OR CONSCIOUS. DOCTOR ASKED IF HE HAD MEDICATION; AND HE SAID 'NO.' DOCTOR TOLD HIM HE HAD A SEIZURE. I WAS TOLD THE MAN SAID HE NEVER HAD ONE BEFORE THIS. #1 FLT ATTENDANT GOT THE DOCTOR'S NAME AND PAX INFO AND NAME. DOCTOR THOUGHT I WAS BEST TO LAND. CAPT MADE A PA AND SAID WE WERE GOING TO LAND IN RENO FOR MEDICAL EMER. DOCTOR TOOK MAN'S BLOOD PRESSURE AND A REGISTERED NURSE IN FIRST CLASS WAS ASSISTING DOCTOR; TOO. THE MAN (30 YR OLD) SEEMED MUCH BETTER AFTER A WHILE AND WE PREPARED TO LAND. ONCE ON THE GND; PARAMEDICS CAME ON BOARD AND TOOK HIM OFF IN WHEELCHAIR. THE PAX WAS SITTING UP AND TALKING AS HE WAS WHEELED OFF. WE LEFT ABOUT 45 MINS AFTER THAT BACK ENRTE TO OUR DESTINATION.
