OMC, go ahead. Okay, we have a 35-year-old male who is involved in an MVC[1]. He is heavily entrapped under the dashboard, and we're having trouble extricating him. He was initially tachycardic. His heart rate was 110. Blood pressure initially stable, 100 over 80, but his heart rate is starting to increase, and his BP is slowly decreasing. We've got to get this guy out. I think he's probably bleeding out. I think we're going to have to amputate his leg. Do you give us orders to amputate? Is that within your scope? I mean, it's not in our protocol, so that's why I'm calling you. How far are you from the hospital? I'm like 15 minutes from a freestanding ER. Is that 1-5 or 5-0? 1-5. I'm at Health Palm Parkway to freestanding. Continue to keep trying to extract the patient. We'll go ahead and get a physician on the way to assist. Okay, his heart rate is now 140, and his blood pressure is 70 over 40. Talking about Doc. We've searched the necktend infection over. Didn't find anybody. Unless you have anything further, this could be a good intent call.
