Hey doc, I'm on scene with a 79-year-old male.
00:03
He fell, he split his lip, he's got a ton of blood loss.
00:07
Also alcohol intoxication on board.
00:10
IMPD saying he won't emergency detain this patient, but our patient continuously tells us that he just wants to die, he wants us to leave him here and he doesn't want to come with.
00:21
I don't think he's able to make that decision at this point.
00:24
Can I get orders just in case IMPD does not do emergency detention? To sedate him so that we can take him to the hospital, he's quite agitated with us.
00:35
Yes,
00:36
I think that sounds reasonable.
00:38
It sounds like based on your judgment, he does not have capacity to refuse medical care at this point due to intoxication and possible head injury.
00:48
I appreciate that.
00:49
Can I get your name spelled out for me?
00:53
E as in Delta, A as in Alpha, I as in India, G as in Golf, H as in Hotel.
01:01
And are you okay with five of Versa for that sedation?
01:07
Five milligrams, that sounds very reasonable.
01:11
And I guess the patient might require more.
01:14
I don't know if you would need to call us for additional orders, which at that point you're welcome to do so.
01:20
Thank you very much.
