Narrative:
I broe off to start picing trays after the meal service. Passenger in first class had vomited all over herself. I ased her if she was O. She was unresponsive and her eyes were rolling up the bac of her head. I ched her pulse. She had none. I called code red. The flight attendant #1 and flight attendant #3 were in the first class during their service and flight attendant #3 grabbed the aed and oxygen, grab and go it and handed them to me. Flight attendant #3 and I lifted the female passenger out of her aisle seat and placed her on the floor. I ched for a pulse and she had one. We still placed the aed pads on and connected her to the machine. Once we got her on the floor, we gave her oxygen. By this time, 2 doctors that were onboard were giving their assistance. The plane diverted to ord and she was taen off.
