Evan, you're on a fall call, 531, 531 flight road southeast.
00:06
SO is on scene initially for a welfare check on a possible suicidal subject.
00:10
They got on the scene.
00:12
They were able to make contact with the female through the wall, speaking with her.
00:17
Evidently she's on the ground, has fallen,
00:21
she can't remember how long she's been down, she's very disoriented, can't walk, they've made contact, she's also got some injuries to her facial area, and can't remember how she got those either.
00:36
Claire, you just let them know we got about a 25-minute ATA.
00:39
Copy. Okay.
00:41
Can you ask the MS if we're going to be good to list her and pick her up or do they want us to leave her alone for now?
00:50
Seven,
00:51
SO units want to know if it's okay for them to pick her up and move her, or do you want them to leave her where she's at?
00:57
Stuff out of her way? Oh,
00:58
I got it.
00:59
An inside unit that has contact with the patient is requesting to know if they can pick her up and move her or if you would rather them leave her where she's at.
01:10
If they can get her off the floor, that's fine.
01:12
Not copy.
01:13
Go ahead. Yes, and we're going to be non-emergency to Maine 102.7.
01:19
I copy.
01:20
The history of strokes and the family that's here saying she's, the way she's speaking is not normal, so it could have been possibly that.
01:36
I copy. Does one side of her face float droopy?
01:39
The way she's laying, it's kind of hard to tell, but, you know, possibly the right side.
01:43
Hi, Abby. Yes, ma'am, go ahead.
01:44
Okay, they're advising that the patient does have prior history of stroke and that she's now experiencing slurred speech and from what they can tell.
01:54
She is still on the floor but looks like there is some drooping on the right side.
