Welfare Check for Patient Who Left Hospital with IV In Arm

Source: Killeen Police and Fire
11330 TX-36 UNIT 50, Temple, TX 76502, USA
Summary: A third-party caller reported that a patient may need her IV removed after leaving a medical facility against medical advice (AMA), with the IV still in her arm. Authorities were uncertain if the patient was at the provided address, and Bell County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) requested a welfare check. EMS was notified, but there was confusion about responsibility and whether the patient was present. Ultimately, it was determined that EMS would not remove the IV and advised the patient to return to the hospital for removal. The patient declined assistance and planned to return to Scott and White hospital the following day.
