Bdb Point Health Clinic, 5100 Prairie Parkway, Custer for Green Creek Road and Prairie View Road. 501.532 for unconscious subject to Guinea Point Health Clinic at 5100 Prairie Parkway, crossing off for Green Creek Road and Prairie View Road. Time of this is 131. Okay, (name withheld). This is Hudson Haynes. I was coming at you as a B service. With an 88-year-old male, got called out today for a sick person, unknown problem. Turns out his Foley catheter came out somehow. We got called by his daughter from a phone away from the scene. Both the patient and his wife do have dementia, so they are unaware of how happened or... The patient doesn't even realize that he needs a catheter. He's very confused as to why and what it is. He does have kidney cancer. There is blood in the catheter. I'm sure if that's normal or not. The patient is not going to blame any pain or really anything that's wrong with him. He's just very confused as to what's going on. The daughter... We end up being in touch with her once to come and get a catheter put in. So we're bringing them to the hospital now. Vitals are as follows. 94 over 54 for blood pressure, pulse of 78, 94% on room air. Like I said, we're coming as she has a B service, so no IV has accessed. We'll be there in about three to four minutes to requesting further.
