Hi, Christiana. This is Medics 7, the medic 2184, about a 15-minute ETA to your facility with a 62-year-old female who fell and had a loss of consciousness.
00:10
How are you copying?
00:13
Copy again. Copy that.
00:15
Sixty-two-year-old female was out drinking at a Christmas park tonight.
00:19
When she arrived back home, she was walking up her stairs.
00:23
Her husband said that it was a minute before she fell down the stairs.
00:26
And she was unconscious for about one to two minutes after her fall.
00:34
Right now she's not complaining of any pain.
00:37
She does have some bruising to her face and I am noticing a little bit of confusion developing on her right cheek.
00:44
She does have a little bit of abrasions on her ankles as well.
00:51
For us, she is also showing a facial droop to the right side.
00:55
I'm not sure if that's because of the swelling that's settling in her cheek or if something neurological is going on.
01:01
So, just looking for potentially a trauma eval or stroke eval upon arrival.
01:08
But for us, she's on a tax on the monitor, one is 97 on the mirror, and last pressure we got was 1 Cindy.
01:14
Blood sugar was 129, and she is not on any thinners.
01:19
Copy, Tim. Good part.
01:22
And for, we could do with trauma and stroke eval on arrival.
