Narrative:
I was in aft galley when I was told that the jfk based flight attendant had fallen and was seriously hurt. A doctor was paged and the purser and doctor were attending to her and had moved her in aisle chair to business class galley. She was in a lot of pain. We returned to lax. We were 1 1/2 hours out over the ocean and the decision was made to return to lax. The flight was turbulent. I didn't see her fall since I was in aft galley cabin and she was in first class aisle.
