43 from Rescue 7? Go ahead, sir. I just heads up. We did an orthostatic on him. Started feeling a little bit light-headed. We couldn't really hear a pulse very well. Laying down, he was 120 over 80. It got a little bit light, hard to hear, and then he started feeling dizzy. We laid him back down. His pulse did jump from about 89 to like 115. He's laying back down comfortable again on the floor just waiting for you. Thanks for the heads up. We're 55 and O'Kelly's, we'll be there in a second. Thank you.
