The original chief complaint was a fall with bilateral leg pain.

In route here,
00:21
she stated that her speech was not normal.
00:24
Now she's feeling a little weak and dizzy.

She's satting at about 93%, blood pressure 131 over 71, and a heart rate of 58.
00:47
Just wanted to give you the heads up.
00:50
Not thinking that needs to be a stroke scale, but wanted to run it by you.
00:55
Is she able to tell you when she noticed her speech being abnormal? Did this just start in the last few minutes while you were transporting, or has this been ongoing?
01:09
She said it started right before medics got on scene.
01:12
She also noted that en route, her right hand started twitching, but grip and sensation were equal on both sides.
01:23
Does her speech sound slurred or abnormal? Does it seem like she’s having a hard time finding words, or is it just her saying it sounds abnormal?

She definitely sounds like she has slurred speech and is slow to respond.

Is she saying that she was last normal about 1 o’clock this morning? Is she able to give you a specific time?
01:59
That's correct, around 1 o’clock.
02:03
If she’s reliably saying her last known well was about 1 o’clock this morning and she’s having slurred speech, she should be a stroke code.

We’ll just have to make her a stroke code.
