We have a call that came in--
a male that's possibly intoxicated, that fell,
hit his head really hard, according to the witness.
That's all the information we have.
So I'm going to roll over there, just in case
it's a little more serious.
6220 in the area.
[suspenseful music]
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
That's him.
I get on scene, and I notice that there is an elderly man
just kind of stumbling around.
And he does not have any idea that I'm there.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
Oh, you're going to fall.
I know.
You fell already.
Your shoes are all untied, and everything.
How much you had to drink tonight?
A bottle?
[laughs] All right.
So where-- where do you live at?
Where?
It's pretty common in intoxicated people.
They think they're perfectly OK.
They have no idea that they are slurring like someone that just
had a stroke and that they're walking like they're on a ship
in the middle of a hurricane.
No, because you already fell once.
We can't let you go.
You're going to fall and-- and really hurt yourself.
Can you--
I know.
Plus, you drank a whole bottle.
[laughs] It was a--
it was still too much.
You can't stand up, unless I'm holding you.
(ON RADIO) [inaudible] 3229.
Uh-huh.
No.
Let us get you up to the hospital.
But look, I got my guys coming.
Can you sit down for me?
And we're going to wait for my guys to come.
Just sit down.
I got you.
All right.
Can you just sit on the ground?
Where do you want to sit? On the curb?
All right. Let's sit you on the curb.
Yeah.
I've already dealt with a really combative,
not-so-nice intoxicated guy earlier tonight.
Luckily, he is a really nice guy.
I got you.
See?
If I wasn't holding on to you, you couldn't walk.
I'm just saying.
You know you were not going to make it home.
All right.
Just sit down for me.
We'll get you back up.
You ever had a heart attack?
How old are?
55?
65?
(ON RADIO) [inaudible],, we don't have a [inaudible]..
Yeah, I don't feel anything on the back of his head.
OK.
He was walking, or attempting to walk.
- [inaudible] - Yeah.
One bottle, he said.
One bottle?
He had one bottle, that's it.
One bottle.
That's it.
All right.
Now, that I made you sit down, we're going to help you up
and get you on the stretcher.
I'm going to get your stuff for you.
- Yeah. - Let's get you up.
I'll get your stuff for you.
[inaudible]
Sometimes, when you're dealing with people
that are intoxicated, in order to appease them,
you kind of bargain with them.
Oh, you got the good stuff.
[laughs] I can't let him just walk off down the street.
I have to do what's in his best interest.
I'm just going to check your blood sugar.
Now, you got a new mask.
All right.
I need some blood out of that finger.
[inaudible]
There we go.
No, no, no.
It's 104, baby, 104.
Yes, sir.
They'll get you home.
You live by yourself, or you got somebody at the house?
OK.
They'll get you home. All right.
Good luck to you.
I'm glad I caught you before you fell
and busted your head, for real.
All right, guys.
Thanks.
[laughs]
