Thank you. I'm en route to the facility, non-emergency, routine traffic. I have a 65-year-old male patient. The patient was found by his son on the floor when the son came to visit. The patient suffered a fall. He has a hematoma to his forehead at this time. Bleeding is under control. The patient is alert and oriented times four but is unable to recall the events from last night. He was apparently discharged from your facility yesterday, but he's a little foggy on the details. Patient's current vitals are pulse 74, blood pressure approximately 152/73. Current SpO2 is 99% on room air. Blood glucose is 114. He has no other complaints other than the forehead hematoma. No reports of any blood thinner use. Any questions or orders? We've located him. He is in the parking lot of Fort Cholston Lodge. Linear damage noted. We'll be checking for entry wounds. Copy. What's your ETA? We have an ETA of about five to six minutes. Is this patient able to sit? Copy, triage on arrival.
