We have a 22-year-old male coming from the Amazon or at the Amazon facility.
00:04
He's an employee here.
00:06
Chief complaint is going to be some eye irritation and some skin irritation from chemical exposure.
00:16
So the story we have here is that this is an individual who works at this facility.
00:20
Sounds like he was working, handling a package that ended up opening up and exposing him to, exposing him in the eye and the frontal throat area, exterior, exterior neck,
00:37
also official, and it caused irritation.
00:43
They went. Had a call number for him.
00:48
Liquid chemical, I think it was a headlight restoration kit.
00:50
The chemical inside it says it's not harmful to humans, but it's often used in soap.
00:55
At the moment, the complaints from the patient are eye irritation as well as some skin irritation, like I said, to the
01:02
front part of his neck and around his eye.
01:06
As far as vital signs go, I got a heart rate of 95, 95, sinus rhythm on the monitor.
01:14
Blood pressure is 127 over 82, 127 over 82.
01:19
98% room air.
01:23
Clear lung sounds bilaterally, good tracheal sounds.
01:29
On secondary, just a little bit of redness and some
01:34
splotchiness around, like I said, around his left cheek and his eye is a little bit red.
01:40
He's complaining of a little bit of tingling to the exterior of his throat too.
01:45
But like I said, good circulatory sounds, no trouble breathing, no other complaints.
01:52
Patient's been arriving with various complications, up to including death.
01:55
He's been advised that I don't want to be contacted at any time.
01:57
One of the kids would refuse care.
02:00
We'll just understand everything going on.
02:03
Not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.
02:05
Make all known medical decisions.
02:08
I believe the ambulance transport is unnecessary at this time.
02:10
We're like to speak.
02:12
Let the redness and swelling kind of come down, which it has just in the time that I've seen him here.
02:17
The swelling and the redness has subsided almost completely.
02:21
Um,
02:22
let me know if there's anything else I can try to get for you.
02:24
Otherwise, we're going to send a patient out of here.
02:27
Copy that. Sounds like patient meets all our criteria for your assessment.
02:31
And you can send a radio uniform lane clear 2353.
02:36
Copy that. Thanks so much.
