Narrative

PAX COMPLAINED OF KIDNEY STONE PAIN AND THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD PASSED A KIDNEY STONE IN THE CONCOURSE LAVATORY PRIOR TO BOARDING. PAX STATED SHE WANTED TO GO HOME AND SAID SHE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER KIDNEY STONE WHEN WE WERE INFLT. A PA WAS MADE FOR A DOCTOR AND AN MD RESPONDED AND SAT WITH PAX IN FIRST CLASS (PAX WAS A FIRST CLASS PAX). THE DOCTOR SAID THE CAPT SHOULD LAND THE PLANE BECAUSE MANY PROBS WOULD ENSUE IF WE WERE INFLT AND THE PAX WENT INTO SHOCK. ONCE WE LANDED IN AMARILLO; TX; THE PAX WAS TRANSPORTED TO A HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER TREATMENT. PRIOR TO THE DOCTOR DECIDING TO LAND THE ACFT; THE DOCTOR INQUIRED WHAT TYPE OF MEDICATION; IF ANY; WAS IN THE ENHANCES MEDICAL KIT. A FLT ATTENDANT INFORMED THE DOCTOR IT COULD ONLY BE OPENED BY A DOCTOR. THE FLT ATTENDANT LOOKED IN THE SAFETY MANUAL FOR A LISTING OF THE ENHANCED MEDICAL KIT ITEMS AND COULD NOT FIND SUCH A LISTING OF THE CONTENTS. THIS IS WHEN THE DOCTOR SAID IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THE PAX TO BE ON THE GND BECAUSE THE PAX COULD GO INTO SHOCK AND SERIOUS PROBS COULD ARISE AND THIS WOULD NOT BE MANAGED IN THE AIR. I FEEL IT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO HAVE A COMPLETE PUBLISHED LIST OF ITEMS IN THE ENHANCED MEDICAL KIT; EITHER ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ENHANCED MEDICAL KIT COVER AND/OR IN OUR SAFETY MANUALS SO THAT THE PHYSICIANS OR OTHER HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS AVAILABLE FOR THEIR USAGE.
