it's bruised and bleeding and he has a
laceration to it i mean he hit something
hard
the guy was was not young by any stretch
so i mean there's a lot of things that
go into what we're concerned about for
him one is if he's on blood thinners you
know how much is he bleeding and how
much is he bleeding inside
um and what possible fractures could he
have he could be having fractures in his
skull around his eyes face so i mean
he's he needs to be going to the
hospital

on your head and then you got up and
came home
i know young cats man they get a little
cut and they want to call avalanche and

for just a second all right i want to
look at your chest when you breathe

those jagged edges of ribs that could
you know cut all your organs it can rip

kidding
thank you guys for helping me no problem

[Music]
[Applause]
we're going to what looks like a house
party yeah um i don't like that for a
female having a seizure
a few things that stand out it's a house
party
where there can possibly be drugs and
alcohol so you have to consider that or
the patient may actually have a history
of seizures i can't believe all these
crowds
okay we're covering
and you gotta go home to your mama
because none of y'all stay by yourself
and y'all going and giving y'all mama
and her brothers and sisters and all
kinds of people kobe and that's not okay
[Music]
look at all these people here we go we
coming boom we coming boom chill out
there are so many unmasked patrons in
this party we make the immediate
decision that we're going to go in find
our patient and get her to the ambulance
we're going to initiate care
one two three
all right
[Music]
grab the suction for me all right
anybody know her fire can you see who's
with her and accident she have any
medical history
they said she took something they don't
know what now that we're in the
ambulance and we don't see a medical
alert attack we can't confirm that the
patient has a seizure history we have to
consider the other possibilities being
that we're at a house party was the
patient exposed to too much alcohol or a
drug thrown in tight on someone she's
breathing damn
i'm gonna cut this i really hope she
wasn't attached to it ma'am hey hey
ma'am
what did she take i don't know what
she's talking about
she's breathing she's breathing
[Music]
can you get pd to come shut this down
for y'all safety we need to get on out
of here all right
michael now can we get nopd out here
me and danny are dispatched to
approximately 20 year old having a
seizure at a house party
the crowd is getting out of hand and opd
needs to come and shut it down now we
don't have time to explain to bystanders
every little thing that needs to be done
in this moment we can't just pick up a
patient and leave you have to assess and
you have to treat if you want your
friend to live we need to treat her
right now
i'm out of here
[Music]
blood pressure's 140 over 80.
do you feel my feeling her head just
make sure there's no trauma on her head
yeah
[Music]
and just to confirm when you went in
with the suction she did have some
response to that with you
there is no overwhelming smell of
alcohol on the patient and she's not
showing any signs of an opiate overdose
the patient possibly just had a seizure
i am two minutes away all right

into this bar and he fell out they
called 911
okay uh you want to give him a hand he
may fall i'll refuse his medical
treatment right now the patient is real
hesitant about going to the hospital
with us he really doesn't want to go but
he might have had a significant fall and
might have a possible head injury so
it's best that he does go even if he
really doesn't want to go unfortunately

intoxicated to where you begin to fall
and potentially become a danger to
yourself that's when we step in we have
to be that advocate for that patient i
fell up because i was drinking my
