Good morning, Doctor.
00:01
This is Joe Ruby at ambulance 13-2 in Osceola Mills.
00:06
I have a patient who appears to have an abscess whose pain's severe.
00:11
I just wanted to make sure that if we brought him there, we'd be able to do something for him at Mount Nittany.
00:18
Were you concerned about pain medication or about antibiotics? Sir, what was the specific concern?
00:28
To be honest with you, this is my 1st one with an abscess to.
00:33
So I was looking for direction.
00:37
Do you have a set of vitals?
00:43
Yes,
00:45
blood pressure 130 over 90.
00:49
All 68.
00:52
Stating room air at 98%.
00:55
Pain is severe.
00:59
Does this individual appear to have any difficulty breathing or protecting their airway?
01:07
Negative, just the pain.
01:10
And do you see any obvious swelling of the face?
01:16
I'm looking at it bilaterally.
01:19
I don't see any swelling.
01:21
I did take a look in his mouth, but I'm not really sure on me seeing anything in there either.
01:26
But he is saying that he's in a great deal of pain.
01:31
Sure, and these things can often be painful.
01:33
I mean,
01:34
the patient sounds stable from what you're telling me, and I realize you have a little bit more of a prolonged transfer time.
01:41
But we frequently do see patients who have dental pain and or dental infections of some kind that is something that we typically can manage here and treat.
01:52
And not only control those symptoms but start antibiotics if needed or refer them to a specialist.
01:59
I would say as long as they are in agreement with coming here or if they want to come here, I think this is something that we can handle based on what you're telling me.
02:09
Yes, okay. Just wanted to confirm with you that we're headed to the right place.
02:13
Thank you very much, Doctor.
02:17
You're very welcome. Stay safe and any clear.
