Ch. 4 Case Study

The Dispatch:
EMS unit 19- You have a man injured when his vehicle struck a parked car. Time out is 1321 hours.

Upon Arrival:
You and your partner arrive at 1327 hours. As you drive up you observe four people standing around two vehicles. As you get out of the ambulance, a woman comes up to you. She say's " I am the one who called I was in the house and I heard a crash and realized that a car had struck mine". When she looked closely at  the car a man was slumped over at the wheel. So she called 911 right away. When she came out of the house the driver seemed to be ok, as she points to the man pacing up and down. We approach him and he says, " oh great!, as if I didn't have enough to deal with already, I have to deal with you guys, go away!, I don't need any help".

How Would You Proceed to Assess, Care for, and document This Patient Contact?
