CRJ200 DIVERTS ON ACCOUNT OF ILL AND DISRUPTIVE PAX IN NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Narrative

ENRTE WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE CABIN. THE FO TOOK THE CALL AND AFTER A SHORT EXCHANGE; TOLD ME THERE WAS A PROB WITH A PAX AND THEY NEEDED TO TALK TO ME. I CALLED THE CABIN AND A TRAVELING NON-REVENUE FLT ATTENDANT FOR THE COMPANY ANSWERED AND IDENTED HERSELF. I RECOGNIZED HER FROM PREVIOUS FLTS AND SHE TOLD ME THE FLT ATTENDANT ON DUTY WAS WITH A PAX IN 3A WHO HAD STOOD UP INFLT; URINATED AGAINST THE SEAT IN FRONT OF HIM; HIS GENITALS WERE EXPOSED AND HE HAD THEN SLUMPED OVER THE SEAT BACK OF THE SEAT IN FRONT OF HIM AND WAS VERY INCOHERENT AND AT TIMES; UNRESPONSIVE WITH HIS EYES ROLLING BACK IN HIS HEAD. I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY MEDICAL PERSONNEL ON BOARD AND IF I SHOULD GET THE ACFT ON THE GND. YES TO BOTH QUESTIONS. THERE WAS A NURSE ON BOARD; BUT LACKED CREDENTIALS. I ASKED THE FLT ATTENDANT IF SHE FELT COMFORTABLE USING HER AND SHE SAID YES. SHE INDICATED THE PAX'S CONDITION WAS DETERIORATING. AT THAT POINT I TOLD HER TO PREPARE THE CABIN FOR LNDG BECAUSE WE WOULD DIVERT TO INDIANAPOLIS. THE FLT ATTENDANT WAS TO UTILIZE THE NON-REVENUE FLT ATTENDANT AND NURSE TO ASSIST HER WITH THE PAX. I UPDATED THE FO AND OUR ACM (FAA INSPECTOR) ON THE SITUATION AND NEED TO DIVERT. I CALLED ZID AND ADVISED THEM WE HAD A MEDICAL PROB WITH A PAX AND REQUESTED A DIVERT TO INDIANAPOLIS. HE ASKED IF WE WERE DECLARING AN EMER AND I REQUESTED TO GO TO 'LIFEGUARD STATUS.' I NOTIFIED DISPATCH AND REQUESTED EMT'S MEET THE PLANE. WE COMPLETED THE CHKLISTS AND BRIEFED THE APCH AND PAX. WE MADE A NORMAL LNDG AND TAXIED TO THE GATE WHERE PARAMEDICS MET THE PLANE. THEY WORKED ON THE PAX FOR SOME TIME BEFORE REMOVING HIM ON A STRAIGHT BACK.
