Narrative:

Flight attendant injury. Clearance to cross somto intersection at 13000 ft. About 10 mi from somto at 13500 ft received an RA for traffic to climb. Other traffic display was blocked by aircraft display on our TCASII screen, ie, traffic was directly beneath us, so that all I saw was -4 or -400 ft. Leveloff was accomplished. Flight attendant #4 fell and cut his wrist with his watchband. Flight was completed uneventfully and flight attendant #4 continued his sequence.
