What other information can I get for you?
01:43
Do you have blood sugar? Do we know if there's blood thinners? And why can't we get a blood pressure? Can you at least do a radio call?
01:53
Sorry, you were a little bit broken, but I believe you asked for a blood sugar that's 163.
01:58
And I never gave you skin signs, they're pale,
02:01
warm and dry.
02:02
And then we'll get back to you.
02:05
We were able to get a blood pressure on the patient.

However, she's got a pretty weak radial.

Correction, blood pressure just came back.
