Yes ma'am. I'm currently en route to your facility, code one. We have a 66-year-old male, currently alert and oriented with a GCS of 15, coming from the CERON Rehabilitation Center. Staff stated the patient was on the floor with unknown downtime. The patient said he was getting off his bed when he slid down and fell. He denied any loss of consciousness or hitting his head. Staff said he takes blood thinners, so the protocol is for him to be checked out. According to the med sheet, he takes aspirin daily. Our vitals: pulse 113. We did get an SpO2 of 92%. (name withheld)'s temperature was 95. Blood pressure is 98/67 and finger stick glucose is 97. He has a history of diabetes, hypertension, and anemia. ETA to your facility is approximately 6 to 7 minutes. Is aspirin the only blood thinner this patient is on?
