Narrative

I WAS FLT ATTENDANT #1 FOR FIRST CLASS. PAX APCHED ME DURING BOARDING AT DFW AND SAID PAX SEATED NEXT TO HIM WAS ILL AND SHE VOMITED. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO HER AND ASKED HER WHAT WAS WRONG. SHE SAID HER STOMACH WAS UPSET. I GOT GINGERALE FOR HER. I THEN TALKED WITH HER SEVERAL MINS. I EXPLAINED TO HER WE COULD GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR HER THERE IN DFW IF SHE NEEDED IT. SHE INSISTED IT WAS JUST HER STOMACH; AND SHE WAS OK TO CONTINUE TO BIRMINGHAM. I THEN LET THE CAPT KNOW SHE WASN'T FEELING WELL; BUT SHE WANTED TO CONTINUE AND FELT SHE COULD. DURING FLT; SHE SLEPT OFF AND ON. I CHKED HER 3 TIMES (2 TIMES SHE WAS ASLEEP; ONE TIME I OFFERED HER MORE GINGERALE). WHEN WE LANDED; SHE WAS THE LAST ONE (OTHER THAN THE UNACCOMPANIED MINOR) TO DEPLANE. SHE HAD A HVY BAG; AND I OFFERED TO HELP HER CARRY IT. SHE WALKED DOWN THE STEPS IN FRONT OF ME AND STARTED WALKING TOWARD THE TERMINAL. SHE STARTED TO STAGGER. I SAW HER DROP TO HER KNEES THEN FALL FACE FIRST ON THE CONCRETE. I RAN TO HER AND ROLLED HER ON HER BACK; LAID HER FLAT; NO RESPONSE TO VERBAL/PHYSICAL; CHKED FOR BREATHING. HER EYES BEGAN TO FLUTTER; AND SHE WAS ABLE TO SPEAK. I RAN BACK TO THE PLANE TO ASK CAPT TO CALL FOR HELP. I PLACED OXYGEN ON HER FACE. SHE WAS ABLE TO COM WITH ME. I TOOK HER PULSE AND IT WAS 18 BEATS IN 10 SECONDS. I ASKED IF SHE WAS DIABETIC. SHE SAID NO; SHE DIDN'T THINK SO. I GAVE HER SOME SUGAR IN CHEEK JUST AS A PRECAUTION. LEFT OXYGEN ON HER. TURNED HER ON HER SIDE IN RECOVERY POS UNTIL PARAMEDICS ARRIVED AND TOOK OVER.
