Can we get a physician or PA Med Phone for 12-lead interpretation, please?
00:07
(name withheld), looking at it now.
00:11
I copy. We are working a refusal on our end, but we're an advanced truck so we can't interpret the 12-lead.
00:16
We transmitted it to you.
00:17
We were just wondering if you could interpret it, see if it was all clear on your end, and then we get a signature.
00:24
As far as the story goes, he's a male patient.
00:28
Two complaints include a near-syncope episode while driving.

Patient stated that he was eating while that happened, and that he may have bagels himself.

This EKG is not a STEMI, but it's the patient's decision if they want to come to the hospital or not.
01:06
Copy. I think he's going to refuse.
01:08
Again, the only reason why I sent it was because we can't interpret the 12 and we need a signature on that.

So we'll come by and get the signature.
