We are in route to a 54 year old male.
He is not breathing normally.
He has a history of a heart attack and stroke and diabetes.
Patient is red in color and throwing up.
Hello.
- What's going on, bubba?
- OK.
- So what's been going on with him?
- Blood pressure kind of bouncing around everywhere,
headaches, feeling nausea, sick.
- Have you been throwing up or have you just felt nauseous?
- No.
I've been throwing up earlier.
- If you didn't have a headache, you
might have one now, we just give you free of charge,
by these lights.
They bright, huh?
- Yeah, just close your eyes the best you can.
All right, big bump, OK?
- I've had--
- 1, 2, 3.
- --cataract surgery on both eyes.
- Yeah.
Well, believe me, we are not short on bright lights or bugs.
All right, buddy, soon as this stops,
I'm going to give you an IV, OK?
- Oh, listen--
- I'm one of them.
- I like a challenge.
- To do what?
- Well, I'm going to give it a shot.
I'm not a quitter.
- Oh, yeah?
- You got track star veins, is that what you're saying?
- Here let's relax this arm for a second.
Tight band.
All right.
- And you have no chest pain at all.
- Apparently, your hair's didn't like it.
- Huh?
- You have no chest pain at all?
- No.
- OK.
- Where'd you resign from?
- Crystal Bridges in Bentonville.
- Oh, that's a good place.
- Did you?
- All right, you ready?
- She's going chasing.
- Well, I'm trying.
I mean, he didn't say it wasn't a challenge.
All right, buddy, you wasn't kidding.
I ain't hitting nothing.
You ready to go to the hospital? - Yeah, let's go.
- All right, bud.
- I'll try again on the way.
- I'm going to try again, and I'm
going to try on the other side.
- Come on now.
Don't give up on me.
Every odd against me here-- running
veins, thick skin, bumpy roads.
OK, ready, 1, 2, 3.
Really?
You weren't kidding.
- I told you it was thick.
Ah-ha-ha.
- I can't even get through your skin, hardly.
- Come on, you can do it.
- I'm going to try.
- You can do it.
You can do it.
- I didn't really want to give up, but you weren't lying.
I think I'm done poking you.
- No, I'm done.
I promise.
- Hey, B, we're pulling in.
- OK.
They can poke you at the hospital.
You'd have thought I just started my job yesterday, huh?
- Yeah!
Pretty much.
- Don't know how to open [inaudible],,
can't hit a IV to save my life.
That's all right. You win some and you--
- You just wanted to poke all them holes in me.
That's all that you wanted to do.
- Yeah.
That's all-- that was what I was going for.
- Here we go.
- Arms inside the ride at all times.
Let's go figure out what's going on with your head, man.
They might just be like, oh, he ain't right.
Huh?
After all the heck you've given me.
