Younger male adult. He's there with his woman, mom and grandma.. All hovering over top of him like he was on his death bed.
No prior health history. VSS. No pain, no nv, no loose stools. No cough.
Cc:weakness. Ok.
Trying to talk to him and he's looking all sad in the bed. Whispers to me as if actually speaking took too much energy.
Trying to get feedback, he keeps whispering. I let him know multiple times that I can not hear him. His ladies are answering for him. He's weak. Hasn't been eating or drinking. He lost almost 20lbs in a week they tell me.
Then he sees the iv and fluids. I get a response. He keeps chanting in this soft whisper 'get me out of here, I'm fine, I want to go'
I have the ladies leave the room. The tech comes in for the EKG. I told him he needs to speak louder an answer my questions. I need to do the little poke so we can run some tests and hydrate him.
He keeps telling me he wants to leave. He starts ripping everything off of himself, jumps out of bed and demands his shirt.
The doc walked in, walked out, went to talk to the ladies and I saw them all walk out. He kept saying I'm fine.
He didn't have the energy to talk to me, but that needle have him a boost of confidence to jump and practically run..
I really wish I could have gotten an answer from him as to what he felt was going to be the plan of care if he was going to refuse any and all testing.
