MD80 CREW HAD AN ILL PAX. FLC DIVERTED TO THE NEAREST SUITABLE ARPT FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT.

Narrative

WHEN I HEARD A VOICE 'CODE RED!' BY A FLT ATTENDANT AFT OF THE ACFT; I WENT TO FIRST CLASS TO NOTIFY #1 FLT ATTENDANT. WHEN I CAME BACK TO ASSIST THE PAX; SHE WAS AWAKENED FROM THE UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND STARTED TO TALK TO THE FLT ATTENDANT ON THE SIDE. SHE STILL LOOKED PALE AND LOST CONSCIOUSNESS EARLIER; SO WE GAVE HER OXYGEN (SMALL BOTTLE) FOR ABOUT 20 MINS. (AFTER SHE WAS SAYING SHE DIDN'T NEED OXYGEN ANYMORE.) THERE WERE 2 REGISTERED NURSES ASSISTING US; MONITORING THE PAX. ACCORDING TO THE NURSES; SHE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF TINGLING FEELING ON THE R SIDE OF HER BODY; SUCH AS FINGERS; AND SHE WAS REPEATING THE SAME THINGS IN WORDS SO THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A STROKE; AND THERE WOULD BE A REAL BAD STROKE IN THE FUTURE -- IT COULD BE SOON -- IT COULD BE MONTHS OR YRS FROM NOW. COCKPIT CONTACTED GND MEDICAL AND DECIDED NOT TO TAKE A CHANCE AND KEEP FLYING TO DFW. THEY INSTEAD DECIDED TO DIVERT TO BNA AND WE DID; AND MEDICAL PERSONNEL TOOK HER OUT TO CHK HER. SHE WALKED OUT; NO WHEELCHAIR. WE CONTINUED TO DFW WITH NO OTHER OR FUTURE INCIDENT. NURSES SUGGESTED TO GIVE HER SOMETHING TO EAT; SO WE GAVE HER A MUFFIN AND A BANANA. SHE SLOWLY ATE BOTH. I THINK NURSE GAVE HER ASPIRIN FOR PRECAUTION. THE PAX HAS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE PROB AND TAKES MEDICATIONS.
