What would you do?
Dispatched to SNF for 78yoF c/c fall last night. It is now early evening, and patient has been refusing treatment/transport all day. Pt. has noticeable bruising and swelling to hand and wrist, but no other injuries. Vitals WNL, and pt. is CAOx4. Pt. is adamant about not going to hospital or doctor, but daughter wants pt transported. Daughter has POA, but is unable to produce the document.
I'll post what I did later.
