Velasquez EMT

Based on the information I just read, I definitely would have transported this pt. Understanding that this pt was intoxicated and mentally impaired, should be reason enough to get him transported. Also, this pt admitted to taking an excessive amount of ASA, which clearly shows intent to harm ones self. If a pt shows signs of threat to others or himself, that is usually a sign that the pt is in need of care. My advice if this kind of situation presents itself again, is DOCUMENTATION. We open ourselves up to lawsuits almost on a daily basis. If you document, document, document, such information as in this case, you should have a leg to stand on. Being that I was not there, I can only offer this as opinion.
