Shady Grove, it's medic 700 and thirty-one.
00:01
Do you have a position available for a high-risk refusal?
00:05
Hi, thank you. Bye.
00:08
How about the radio? 731, I'm on scene with a 76-year-old female.
00:13
Was involved in a verbal altercation that turned physical with her daughter.
00:20
She only has some light scratches on her left upper arm, no bleeding, and one very small, about dime-sized black and blue mark on her left forearm.
00:31
She didn't fall, didn't hit her head, not on blood thinners.
00:34
She does have a hypertension history.
00:36
As well as a previous cardiac history,
00:40
since normally, right now heart rate is 130 .
00:43
Sinus tach on the monitor.
00:45
Twelve lead was unremarkable.
00:47
Last blood pressure obtained was 100 and eighty-eight over 108 .
00:50
She said only about forty-five minutes ago.
00:52
Did she take her losartan and hydrochlorothiazide for that?
00:56
Also said that she feels very worked up.
00:59
Just given that circumstance with her vital signs, just wanted to clear it with you.
01:03
She's okay to refuse.
01:05
Said she is aware of the inherent risk of that and said that she would call back if there was persistent issues.
01:10
Just wanted to see if you were okay with it.
01:13
Yeah, I mean, if the patient is refusing to speak for medical decisions and she has capacities and she has the right to refuse, if she can hear me, I can talk to her a little bit.
01:22
Yep, she's right here.
01:23
Go ahead.
01:24
My name is Dr.
01:25
Lane, an emergency physician.
01:27
I do recommend that you come to the hospital.
01:29
I know your pulse is a little, your heart rate's a little bit high.
01:32
It could be from a lot of different.
01:33
So we can make sure that there's nothing more serious going on that would need intervention or admission to the hospital.
01:39
Doesn't mean that you have to be admitted to the hospital, but we can get you checked out and make sure everything's okay.
01:45
Okay, she's aware yet.
01:47
And like I said, she's just reiterating her history that she has previously with cardiac issues with social follow-up if there's any persistent issues.
