RADIO: 49-year-old female fell in the restroom.
[sirens]
LINDSAY: All right.
So we are meeting a crew that was transporting
an elderly female, who fell.
Apparently, like, on their way to the hospital,
they lost power to their unit.
Like, they lost power steering.
So they're requesting another unit
to come meet up with them so they can finish
transporting the patient.
So we're going to do an old rendezvous?
LINDSAY: A little rendezvous.
I mean, we put some wear and tear on these trucks, man.
We run these things to the ground.
24-7.
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.
LINDSAY: (VOICEOVER) We are headed
to help another unit that's broken down
with a patient in the back.
These trucks get run into the ground,
so it definitely happens.
But we going to be there to assist
that patient, because that's the main priority at this moment.
324 in route with 3C47.

Hey.
Hi.
Housekeeping. Hi.
So what's going on?
She called us out for some lower abdominal pain that
started about 30 minutes ago.
She's been constipated for three days.
LINDSAY: OK.
Stable vital signs.
LINDSAY: All right.
Hi, baby.
Since this truck decided that it just
wasn't going to do you justice, we'll come
get you to the hospital, OK?
[music playing]
Thank y'all.
[laughs]
She had to leave that handsome stallion.
All right, my baby.
Let me see this arm, sweetheart.
Are you comfortable like that, baby?
All right.
Let's head out.
So Ms. Evelyn, explain to me what happened again tonight.
Your head and your stomach?
OK.
It's not a life or death situation at this moment,
but she definitely needs to go to the hospital
and be evaluated by a physician.
I'm going to push on your stomach a little bit, OK, baby?
[music playing]
Have you been having any vomiting?
Your chest is hurting?
It just started?
When you left the house?
Well, good thing is, they gave me
a copy of what your EKG looked like, and it looks good, OK?
How old are you?
Are you sure?
(LAUGHING) Are you?
Any goal goes to live to 100?
Well, with the way you're going now, honestly, baby,
I believe you can live to like 110.
Because you do not look like you're 98.
Yeah.
What's the secret?
Well, that ain't no secret, but--
[laughs]
You did what the rest of us little hooligans have done?
Well, that's amazing.
It's amazing that you're 98.
And still, look at you, sharp as a whip.
I know she has discomfort all in her abdomen,
but she still has a positive outlook.
I definitely believe people who have a more upbeat and positive
vibe live longer.
It's definitely a key factor.
I know.
It feels kind of weird driving backwards, huh?
Uh-huh.
[music playing]
We made it, babe.
Look, she's 98.
Yeah?
LINDSAY: 98.
Ooh, girl.
She's an independent woman.
I bet you have some stories.
[laughs] I just want to be like you, Ms. Evelyn.
