cfaulknor Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Dispatched to a 17 y/o female, unresponsive. Arrive on scene about 4 minutes later to find patient seated in a chair. Per patient and family, patient was doing her makeup in the bathroom and passed out. Patient is sitting in a chair now, conscious, but nodding off repeatedly, even in the middle of speaking.

firedoc5 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Somebody slip her a "mickey"? Any freelance pharmaceuticals, mom's valium? Vicodin? Any new make up products? ETOH? Any food allergies? Any abd. pain or headache? When she "nods" off, what are her resp. like? Does she "awaken" slowly or as being startled? Slurred speech? Aggitated?

cfaulknor Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 No evidence of drugs anywhere nearby... slept last night, didn't go anywhere the day before... awakens as if being startled... reminded me of a tired driver... starts to slip, then quickly comes back when they realize they're falling asleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
