The Dispatch:
EMS unit 105-you have an elderly male with abdominal pain.
Upon Arrival:
An elderly woman, who tells you she is Mrs. Schuman, meets you and your partner on the front porch of the home. She is wearing only a nightgown and it is 38 degrees F. She says, "it's my husband. Something is wrong. I just can't handle him anymore." You quickly take her inside with you scan the scene for hazards. As soon as you enter you notice that the house is in shambles. You and your partner can barley pass through. She leads you to the bedroom, where you find the patient lying on the bed, his eyes are open and he is moaning softly. The sheets are stained with urine, the smell is very strong and it is very cold in the room.
How would you proceed with this case?
