General, Times 1411 here, I have a short ETA, coming to Code to Level 1 with a 69-year-old male who was found down on the ground. So it looked like he suffered an unwitnessed fall over at 23rd wellness rehab, found by the staff. normally not be able to get himself back up, so they assisted him back onto his wheelchair where he usually gets around, but they did say that he seemed a little weaker than normal and a little less responsive than normal, though at baseline he has dementia. So it sounds like he's answering questions in accordance with his baseline. His vitals are all within normal limits, BG of 1.30. He's not complaining of any headneck or back pain. There's a little laceration on his forehead, bleeding is very usually controlled, and he does not use blood thinners. We'll be there in about two minutes. These are just covered with a sound memorandum, I won't think just clear.
