A professional dancer caused a scare at Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak Monday night when she had a panic attack while getting zombie makeup done - and her look put the hospital on high alert.

"(They said) Let's get her back to trauma now and she's probably going into shock, she's not making any sense," said Fears.

The level one trauma center didn't know then that Fears was wearing makeup. She says they should have been able to figure it out.

First I'd check my own pulse... then:
  1. Is she warm?
  2. Does she have a pulse?
  3. Good SpO2?
  4. Is she craving brains?
If the answer is Yes, Yes, Yes, No... don't panic. Chances are she's not a zombie and the ZERT doesn't have to be mobilized.

Anyone from New Orleans EMS care to comment? Seems they would see a lot of this. Me, no big deal.
