Ok so I got this call sometime last summer so not all the details are clear. The reason for this scenario is I am just wondering what other medics would do. Ok so here we go.
It's about 1100 hrs and you are dispatched to a busy event going on in your down town with about 30,000 people attending. The call comes in as a young female in serious distress. You drive down to the location and find a young woman about 16 years of age in some emotional distress with two volly medics trying to attend to her.
What you are able to gather from the medics is that she is deathly afraid of ambulance from some past experiences. A friend needed a band aid (or something like that) for a blister on her foot so as they walked over to the on site ambulance she just freaked right out.
You find the patient sitting down crying heavily with some small "puddles" of vomit around the area, you're told they are from her.
You try to reach anyone that can take her home but everyone you try is unavailable.
So MY question is what would you do for this patient?
Just a little side note: she absoluetly refuses to go towards your ambulance.
