In Wheeling Medical Park, 73-year-old female patient,
00:04
apparently rolled off the couch,
00:07
was on the floor,
00:09
just screaming in pain, not talking, is normally verbal per the neighbor.
00:14
This patient lives with her slightly mentally delayed sister.
00:19
I'm not sure if she resides in the house.
00:22
Well, the electric was on the outside, so they probably just didn't have any on.
00:25
She was on the floor, not giving us definitive answers just to...
00:28
where she heard, she still won't give me a definitive verbal response.
00:33
Eyes were open, she can follow command, she can squeeze her hands, she can depress with her feet,
00:38
just moaning and screaming is all like here.
00:41
She did on cue.
00:43
Current blood pressure is 128 over 80, pulses 120, respiratory rate over 18.
00:48
Difficulty getting a pulse oxymetry reading on two different finger locks on her.
00:52
Her skin color is good, lungs appear to be clear bilaterally.
00:56
I think if I want to put the oxygen on, she just pulls it off.
01:01
Not the best vein, but I do have a 22-gauge in her left hand, giving her D-5 saline, because her sugar is 505.
01:10
According to the neighbor, hasn't eaten much for two weeks, if at all,
01:14
hasn't opened her bag of metformin that she should be taking.
01:17
We do know she's a diabetic.
01:19
I don't know a whole lot of other medical history on her.
01:23
Like I said, there's no obvious injury, and I'm sure you can hear her screaming in the background.
01:27
That's the only verbal response I've got from her.
01:29
But again, she is able to squeeze hands, she is able to press with her feet,
01:35
sinus tachycardia on the monitor about 120.
01:38
We've got a 20 to 25 minute ETA to Wheeling Medical Park, good.
