Thank you, gross monitor.
00:01
We responded to a sheriff's substation today for a 66 year old male.
00:06
Chief, it's going to be right sided weakness.
00:11
So we ran on this patient two days ago.
00:15
He was having stroke-like symptoms.
00:18
He had whole right side deficit, slurred speech.
00:21
He was outside, struck window.
00:26
It sounds like you guys diagnosed him with the stroke, sent him home with two blood thinning medications he was supposed to be taking those this morning.
00:35
They say he wasn't able to get that bottle open, and he woke up this morning feeling like his whole right side has this weak.
00:49
Patient states that the only deficit he had from that last prior stroke was just slurred speech and a little bit of right side weakness.
00:57
However, he states that he feels a significant a lot more weak on that right side.
01:02
On our FAST PD score, we're giving him a score of four for speech and arm drift.
01:12
All other vital signs are within normal limits.
01:15
They've been uploaded to you.
01:16
Sugars 109 , temp 97.6 .
01:19
We're really going to get heavy access here.
01:21
We'll be at you guys' in about 5 min.
01:23
Let me know if you guys want to activate this.
01:27
So do we have a definitive last known well time, or is it just him saying he went to bed last night feeling fine? And what time would we estimate that to be?
01:39
Yeah, that's affirmative.
01:40
Respond. No definitive last known well.
01:42
They say he did feel normal going to bed last night at approximately 2200 and woke up this morning with a time of onset of around oh 600 .
01:58
Well, approximately twenty-two hundred 30 , which is still within the twenty-four hour window.
02:02
So speech is not new.
02:05
He has residual right weakness, but increased right-sided arm drift.
02:10
So yeah, we'll go ahead and activate and we'll see if we can get a stroke code.
02:18
That's two copies.
02:19
Thanks, source.
