Good morning, Dr.
00:01
Wynn,
00:02
paramedic and dog, who's got a refusal.
00:07
Two-year-old male patient who had a two-minute seizure.
00:11
He has a history of epilepsy.
00:14
He does take Oxcarbazepine.
00:20
And Mom also had some diastat.
00:23
She doesn't try to use it if his seizure is longer than 10 minutes.
00:27
When we arrived, we were alerted and oriented with normal behavior, heart rate was 110, cutting 90% under there, continued to do so.
00:36
Mom's planning on taking him to the hospital and informed her that because he was on medication and he had a seizure, because he goes to the hospital,
00:47
she mentioned that he didn't take,
00:51
he missed a dose last night and she really replied the seizure.
00:56
So we're trying to get a clearance for the refusal.
01:03
So we're trying to get clearance for the refusal and allow them to go by private vehicle.
01:12
Is mom playing a go at this moment and does she have the capacity to take on that responsibility and take the patient by private vehicle?
01:23
Mom said dad's on his way and will be the one transporting.
01:29
If you please explain to mom that it is important.
01:32
The biggest priority is to have the patient evaluated.
01:35
Obviously,
01:37
the concern is that with private vehicle is that if the patient were to have another seizure en route,
01:43
it would be difficult to drive a vehicle and to treat the patient, which is why our preferred option is for the patient to go with you guys.
01:54
However, if the patient's mother shows...
01:58
capacity and is able to understand these risks and is alternatively willing to take the patient by private vehicle,
02:07
then I believe that that is an accessible alternative and would be cleared for refusal.
