St. Vincent Anderson ER, Medic 51, how do you copy for a stroke alert? Go ahead. I'm en route to your facility with an 89-year-old male coming from home. He did fall. He's altered at this time. GCS of 13. I do have an 18 gauge established in the right AC. We do have left-sided deficits. He is unable to move the left side of his body. He does not have any facial droop but is unable to obey commands. When asked to move the left side, he was unable to do so and did fall and hit his head. We have roughly a golf ball-sized hematoma on the left side of his skull. He's had a brain bleed in the past, no history of strokes, but has high blood pressure. Current twelve-lead is unremarkable. Last BP was 208 over 113, 100 % on four liters. Cannula 22 on capnography, 71 on pulse. We'll be there in about five. Do you require anything further? No, I think you covered it. Thank you for my arrival. Medic 51 clear. Thank you.
