Coming to you from a skilled nursing facility with a 57-year-old male with a chief complaint of unsteady gait following a witness call.

Patient has a history of coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction, hypertension.
00:38
Patient is on blood thinners,
00:40
flavics and aspirin, last taken 9 a.m. yesterday.
00:44
The fall happened around midnight last night.
00:48
Vitals are stable, alert and oriented times four.
00:54
Any other history allergies and medicine on arrival? Estimated time over 10 minutes.
00:58
Any questions?
01:00
Yeah, this might need to go to the trauma center.
01:02
I already did a little bit more information about the fall.
01:06
Does he have full recall of events and then the unsteady gait? Any other signs of stroke?
01:13
No signs of stroke.
01:15
And patient stated that they were turning a corner and hit their knee and kind of went down slowly.
01:22
So fuller collection of events.
01:26
I copied. Did he hit his head?
01:28
No, he didn't hit his head, didn't hit anything.
01:33
And with that unsteady gait, is he not, did you see him walk at all?
01:38
Yes,
01:41
he can stand and walk.
01:42
Patient states that he feels more wobbly than usual.
01:46
I copy are all vitals stable?
01:50
Yeah, all the vitals were stable and, according to the staff, they were stable overnight as well.
01:57
Okay, I copy.
01:58
I was just concerned that he had a fall, has an unsteady gait and is on blood thinners, but if he has full recall, didn't hit his head, you're not seeing any signs of trauma, and it sounds like a low mechanism of fall, I think that's okay to come to Grossmont.
02:09
I just wanted to make sure we cover everything, given the complaint.
02:16
All right, are we still good to come?
02:19
Yeah, you're good to go for Grossmont.
02:21
Everything that I just said was correct.
02:23
Awesome, thank you so much.
