I recently got a patient that had come from the nursing home. The paramedics were told ( by the nurse sending the patient to the hospital) that he was unable to obtain a systolic blood pressure but did manage to get a diastolic one. :chuckle
I later relayed this to my supervisor at the hospitaland he brought it to me! I kept it in a bag in case we need it sometime, we know just where it is.
Additionally, my patient had been obtunded since noonish, and was sent tot the hospital at 1840, but a quick check of her medication reconcilliation, showed our dilligent nurse had given her all her meds, even her trazadone!
