00:32
The patient wants to go to Grossmont.
00:34
We don't know if we could take her to Grossmont or if you want to update.
00:38
I copy.
00:39
If you could take some of the listeners and what was mechanism?
00:43
How did she?
00:45
No blood thinners and patient states she just fell from standing height.
00:49
She kind of not faint.
00:52
She kind of just lost her balance.
00:55
That has happened pretty often because she usually has low blood pressure.
00:59
So when she makes quick movement, she has passed out in the past, but apparently she did not lose consciousness.
01:07
I got the end.
01:09
Does she normally wear oxygen at baseline or is this like a totally new issue?
01:14
No, she has never worn oxygen before.
01:18
Are you seeing any outward signs of trauma, any, like, head trauma?
01:23
No signs of trauma besides the pain that she's having.
01:27
I copy, and how far are you guys out from Grossmont?
01:32
From Grossmont, we're about 15 minutes.
01:37
I'm comfortable if you want to just transfer her BLS because she doesn't need special consideration. It sounds like it was not a heavy impact and no outward signs of trauma, there's no loss of consciousness, no blood thinners. I'm good if you want to transfer to Grossmont unless you strongly feel differently.
02:03
No,
02:04
we're comfortable transporting to Grossmont.
02:07
