We are from medic 21 for patient report. This is a medic 21 (name withheld). This is a medic 21. We're out with an 81 year old female coming for a morning point nursing home. Patient had an unwitnessed mechanical fall in the closet. A patient was found on her left side in the closet. Patient is in the dementia hall. She's confused at baseline. Her staff, the patient is acting at baseline. It doesn't answer any questions, just moans and groans, but that's her baseline. It doesn't appear to be any injuries. Vitals are stable. I've got 155 over 91, pulse of 84, 99% of room air. Silly to state it since it was unwitnessed and the patient is on (number withheld), that should be transported and evaluated. If you require nothing further, we'll be there in about 7, 8 minutes.
