Lakeview 803MRCC patient information going over to St. John's, maybe 10 out. 1511. CCU. He had a toe amputation about a week ago. He's had two or three incidences as far where he's had to go back for severe bleeding out of that toe. Today started bleeding about 45 minutes ago, uncontrolled. Until we got there, it's still bleeding, but we do seem to have it somewhat controlled. Last blood pressure 98 over 48, 62, sinus rhythm. Last blood sugar I had was 406. I'd be established. We are 10 out of Johns. To confirm, you said bleeding controlled at the time? I just put a third rap on it. I think it's controlled at this time. It's kind of trying to bleed through our previous wrap. Uncontrolled. Sounds get uncontrolled bleeding at this time. You're clear for St. John's operator 178. Thanks, 178.
