00:03
St. (name withheld), is this my new physician for the consult?
00:07
That's correct. I'm going to need a physician for a patient refusal.
00:11
Good afternoon, St.
00:14
(name withheld). This is Baltimore County Ambulance 475.
00:16
I'm here with a 40-year-old male.
00:18
He's A and O times four GCS of 15.
00:22
We were called to the scene because he felt as if he was going to pass out.
00:26
He was getting a haircut, had the cape on him, felt like he was getting overheated.
00:31
Starting to see what he said was just pure white in his eyes.
00:35
They took the cape off and have been cooling him down, and he said he felt much better.
00:40
Patient's been battling for the symptoms for the past three to four days.
00:45
I'm consulting for his refusal just because of his vitals.
00:50
Pedals are as followed.
00:51
He has a blood pressure of 100 over 74 manually,
00:55
pulse of 75.
00:57
He was setting around 92 to 93%.
01:00
Patient at this time doesn't want to go to the hospital.
01:04
He just believes that in the moment he was a little dehydrated, that some water and rest at home would be fine.
01:11
He is here, he's able to hear you.
01:13
Do you have anything that you would like to say to him?
01:15
Sure, yeah.
01:19
Alert and completely oriented, understands that the risk involves not coming in here for a formal evaluation.
01:25
He certainly can't make that decision regarding his blood pressure.
01:28
I mean, I don't know what's based on his blood pressure, but if this is below his baseline, I would encourage oral hydration.
01:38
Look at his vital signs.
01:40
This likely could be the cause, but you know, obviously, when his oxygen saturation is also being on the low side, he could also have concurrent pneumonia of lungs.
01:51
But I'll leave it up to the patient to decide whether or not, but he's welcome to.
