035 for patient transport going for Mercy 1, near Waterloo. I’m out 438. She was just getting out to go to the bathroom and tripped. It does have a pretty large hematoma above her right eye as well as a skin tear underneath of it. She denies any pain. She is resting comfortably on a stretcher. We have her on the monitor. We have a heart rate of 75. Her last blood pressure is 155 over 70. Crestrations are about 18 on labor. She was 88% on her oxygen. We do normally have her on oxygen at night. We do have around about one liter, and she’s showing 94 on that. Otherwise, blood sugar was 203. We did a tent in IV without success. We’ll be there in about three minutes to request anything further, thank you.
