Narrative:

We were at bravo south taxiing out of the ramp at ord. Ground control issued us instructions to taxi to 28R/N5 via left turn on a; right turn on A9.K.cc.north then hold short of T on north. Neither I nor the captain have flown into ord recently so we took a few moments to orient ourselves with the intended taxi route before the captain released the parking brake and began taxiing. As per our taxi instructions; the captain initially turned left onto taxiway a then right onto A9 where we noticed a CRJ200 rapidly approaching from the right on taxiway B. Due to aircraft positioning and structural limitations (window frames); we were unable to see the crj until we had almost completed the turn onto taxiway A9. The captain firmly applied the brakes and both we and the crj came to a stop. As I was trying to contact ground control to clarify the taxi instructions; the crj passed in front of us (with plenty of room) and an additional aircraft behind him also passed. During the abrupt stop; [a] flight attendant (flight attendant) slipped on some water in the aft galley; fell and sprained his ankle. He initially informed us that he was able to complete his duties so we continued taxiing for takeoff. About 15 minutes later we were informed that [the] flight attendant's foot was swelling up and he would need medical attention. The captain immediately initiated a gate return and we contacted operations to get a gate assignment; flight attendant supervisor and wheelchair for him. Coincidentally; while taxiing out for the continuation of our flight; the exact same thing happened again. We were cleared to exit the south port and onto A9 only to find two aircraft rapidly approaching from the right on taxiway B. This time; we were much more aware of the possible incursion at this location and the captain was able to stop the aircraft gently.

Narrative: We were at Bravo South taxiing out of the ramp at ORD. Ground Control issued us instructions to taxi to 28R/N5 via left turn on A; right turn on A9.K.CC.N then hold short of T on N. Neither I nor the captain have flown into ORD recently so we took a few moments to orient ourselves with the intended taxi route before the Captain released the parking brake and began taxiing. As per our taxi instructions; the Captain initially turned left onto taxiway A then right onto A9 where we noticed a CRJ200 rapidly approaching from the right on Taxiway B. Due to aircraft positioning and structural limitations (window frames); we were unable to see the CRJ until we had almost completed the turn onto Taxiway A9. The Captain firmly applied the brakes and both we and the CRJ came to a stop. As I was trying to contact Ground Control to clarify the taxi instructions; the CRJ passed in front of us (with plenty of room) and an additional aircraft behind him also passed. During the abrupt stop; [a] Flight Attendant (FA) slipped on some water in the aft galley; fell and sprained his ankle. He initially informed us that he was able to complete his duties so we continued taxiing for takeoff. About 15 minutes later we were informed that [the] FA's foot was swelling up and he would need medical attention. The Captain immediately initiated a gate return and we contacted Operations to get a gate assignment; FA supervisor and wheelchair for him. Coincidentally; while taxiing out for the continuation of our flight; the exact same thing happened again. We were cleared to exit the South Port and onto A9 only to find two aircraft rapidly approaching from the right on Taxiway B. This time; we were much more aware of the possible incursion at this location and the Captain was able to stop the aircraft gently.
