I actually had a call like this a while back. A pregnant mother and her daughter live in a comlex where the laundry room is in another part of the building. The mother says she doesn't like carrying the huge laundry bottle back and fourth to do laundry, so she stores it in a water bottle. One night, her 3 year old takes the water bottle with the detergent in it (clear, no odor) and takes a few sips. She hands it to her mom and says it doesn't taste good, so the mom checks herself and takes a swig. You walk in, and they are both sitting on the floor with vomit everywhere, and they both complain of dizzyness. The dad can't drive them to the hospital because he's had a few drinks. You only have one ambulance with you, but you have a full crew at the station ready with the second one.

Where would you go from here?
Tell me if I missed anything!
