Your complaint is going to be altered and low O2 sat.

So we were called out to Vialos Palmas in El Cajon to find our patient, alert and talking, in bed with staff on scene.
00:24
Sounds like for the staff, which he.
00:26
But
00:29
approximately 30 min ago, they went into his room.
00:33
Sounds like he has been nonverbal for the last 30 min , and he was sitting in the high seventies.
00:41
Now, upon our arrival, he was on a.
00:44
Redirect.
00:47
Um, also.
00:49
Otherwise, for us, he is alert.
00:56
He is following commands.
00:58
He is nonverbal.
01:00
Otherwise, all his vitals are stable.
01:02
We put him on a non-rebreather at ten liters per minute.
01:05
He's currently setting 100 % on that.
01:07
Otherwise, lungs are clear.
01:08
He's normal.
01:15
Only other treatment is looking for an IV for the.
01:18
Gentlemen, but otherwise, we got a 5 min ETA to your facility, and he does have cognitive community disorder.
01:24
Now that I am looking at his paperwork, so can I get you anything else?
01:30
So it sounds like we're.
01:33
That's affirmative.
01:34
Just looking at his packet now and seeing that, as well as the fact that staff also had him on a non-rebreather at two, is suggesting that maybe this is his baseline.
01:45
He's not normally times four, but that's kind of where I'm at right now.
01:51
Copy. He's not speaking at all at this point.
01:58
I'm sorry, can you repeat that last part?
02:02
He's not speaking at all for you.
02:05
No usable speech whatsoever.
02:10
Not really, no.
02:12
But he is fully aware of his surroundings, looking around, trying to take off some of the vital cords that are on him right now, and following all the commands.
02:25
Okay, I got.
02:28
Don't love the story, but I think.
02:32
Copy that, (name withheld).
02:33
Thank you. We'll see you inside.
