On board, I have an 8-2-year-old nail. This will be a trauma category fee. The patient fell this morning, he stated he was feeling dizzy before the fall. After he fell, he did hit his head and vomited afterward. The patient currently is alert and oriented times 4 with the GCS of 15. He does not recall any specific medical history. All he states is that he has multiple cardiac problems. He does take a blood thinner, but unknown which one. Final signs are as follows, I have a blood pressure of 173, 173 over 8787. I have a heart rate of 59-59, respirations of 16. He is 94% on room air. I have a D-stick of 165 at this time. The patient is not currently reporting any nausea. Next, 24 dispatches. Do you copy our last? Negative try again. Next, 24 dispatch. Start me in emergency manpower, minimum 4. Okay. Mercy, manpower, for personnel. 947.
