Someone came out from earlier to 12-8 on him, was to be fine. He's just been having... diarrhea, vomiting. The main reason we are busted ALS[2], because his pressure is 70 or 50. He's feeling dizzy, especially upon standing and moving, but also laying down. I can probably get you guys to a hospital much faster than I can get ALS to you.
