I've got called out by PD welfare check on our patient.
00:28
She was in a hoarder-type house.
00:31
We found the patient's leg was actually stuck in the door with a bunch of trash on top of her wedging the door against her leg, she couldn't get it loose.
00:41
It sounds like the neighbors called in, they heard her screaming saying she can't open the door.
00:47
She doesn't have a history of dementia.
00:49
It sounds like she's acting baseline times two.

It does look alone.
00:52
Like I said, she lives in a hoarder-style home.

She had trash all over her,

and she was just kind of stuck with her left leg pinched in the door.

They did see that her door was ajar all night.
01:07
They just didn't see her move.

So unknown when she really had her foot stuck, she said she did not fall.

All the trash wedged the door against her leg.

We're not seeing any signs of trauma.

She has no pain.

Only sign of trauma is a small indentation where the door was on her left lower leg, just above the ankle.

She times two, history, dementia.
01:43
She's saying she didn't have any LOC, and she has partial recall of the event.
01:46
But with the dementia, it's kind of hard to tell if she did have a fall or not.
