whit72 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Ummm I don't feel well is a pretty vague complaint, you mind narrowing it down a little. Like I am going to die" I don't feel well" or "I am a pansy and I have a stomach ache don't feel well"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlio Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 When you arrive on scene and you realize it is worse than you thought and ALS is needed, what is their ETA? Why would you do such a thing without an assessment? You don't even know your vitals, or SAMPLE. Unless we're missing something, there's nothing more they can do for this patient, the're just not "feeling well". Wait later for a full assessment before calling ALS.

whit72 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I don't feel well is a statement I hate to hear. It means either of two things. I will be cleaning up puke or doing CPR, neither of which sounds real appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMac Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 dear lord...I barely start off this post and I have 12 replies. alright, lovely day outside, about 20 degrees celcius. This lovely gentlemen was inside walmart doing some shopping when he started to "feel unwell". He had been feeling so for 10-15 mins when he proceeded to walk outside for some fresh air, which at this point the greeter a the entrance(gotta love them) called 911.Upon arrival you see a men in his early-mid thirties pale and diaphoretic sitting on a bench waiting for EMS. As you approach him you find him aware of your arrival but does not speak to you. You noticed some fresh vomit-ish substance in his lap and the ground. One at a time let me know what you want to know at this point. I cant reply to 12 posts (sorry, Im not that good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
