NIKKI: Assault, 40-year-old male was hit by a stick.
No answering-- - A what?
NIKKI: Hit by a stick.
Assailant is still on scene.
The subject is a bald, black male.
Uh-huh.
NIKKI: So it sound like some fighting going on.
NICOLE: Trauma drama.
NIKKI: Trauma drama.
See what old boy--
NIKKI: Let's see what old boy got, what kind of stick
he got hit with.
It can be anything, table stick, pool stick, stick from a tree.
In Baton Rouge, you never know.
Who we here for?
Hey, how you doing?
You got hit on the back right there?
That hurt?
NICOLE: All right, do you want to go to the hospital?
I mean, you got a welt.
I'm trying to understand what you're saying, sir.
You don't want to go to the hospital, or you do?
You have a red mark where you got hit.
There's no broken bones, OK?
I didn't know him though.
Huh?
All right, so do you want to go to the hospital?
You're going to be sore on this side now,
but you can take some ibuprofen, put some ice on it.
And if you have any other problems--
Yes.
NIKKI: We don't make the decision for you.
You called us, we're here, let's go.
He didn't want to go.
We do let him know, if anything changes, give us a call back.
We'll gladly come here and take you to the hospital.
Have a good night.
I got that.
This thing heavy.
Yeah, it's heavy.
Jeez.
You need to so some weight workout, girl.
Oh, whatever.
Lift, lift, lift, lift, lift.
There he go. Look at this dude, man.
Is he-- is he twerking?
[inaudible] on contact.
What's going on, fellas?
Whoa.
Oh, you the the guy they came out here for earlier, huh?
You having pain anywhere else besides in your back?
BRANDON: Groin area?
Stomach?
All right, man, we'll we going to have
to get this checked out.
You got to get at least a X-ray.
BRANDON: So this happened earlier?
The patient called EMS earlier for the same assault.
The wound is continuously getting bigger,
and it's becoming worse.
We don't know how much internal bleeding there
is, so we need to get him to the hospital
so he could get X-rays.
Did you decide on which hospital to go to?
Hmm?
Do you have insurance?
Do you have medical insurance?
Who's they?
But do you have insurance, medical insurance?
Medicare, Medicaid?
You.
COOP: I see what he doing.
He doing this like a car accident.
- Yeah. - It's not like that.
BRANDON: What you going to do about your kidney?
BRANDON: I have to break it down for him.
He seems maybe confused.
I'm not sure if it's a language barrier.
But time is of the essence in a situation like this,
because of the injury swelling over time.
The unit just left and it wasn't like this.
His kidneys could be damaged, especially
from the blunt trauma, and he actually
could experience some life altering problems if he doesn't
get it assessed right away.
Let's say this is your back.
Right?
You have a big knot like this on your back.
Underneath that knot is where your kidney is.
That's where your pee at.
You understand what I'm telling you?
Go to the hospital.
This is your second time calling, boss.
It's not going to get better.
All right, so what's the move, baby?
Let's go. COOP: All right.
All right.
Not only did we go once but twice on this man.
In all seriousness, though, he probably
got some kidney trauma.
COOP: Poor guy.
That thing was swelling up, and even when we got here,
it got worse.
Yeah, it was bad.
BRANDON: It had redness, discoloration.
He needed to get help. COOP: Yeah, he did.
He needed a CT scan.
So all in all, [inaudible]
COOP: Oh, bro.
BRANDON: Is that his shirt?
COOP: That's his shirt.
I'll do it. I got it.
COOP: You got it?
BRANDON: I got it.
Man, I was glad he kept the shorts on.
All right, here we go.
I'm going to finish cleaning.
Appreciate you.
