Michael Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Is he really, really, really short? Pipe smoker? Wants to pay with a Gold Card?
Mateo_1387 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Posted September 12, 2008 Good observation ERDoc. That is a Key symptom to the underlying cause. Has anyone figured out the underlying cause? Any more questions? To Michael....really really short he is not.....pipe smoker, I doubt, but who knows?........Paying with a gold card....hes probably like anyone else, he wants someone else to pay for it ! (I realize I have probably missed something in your post Michael :? )

Can I have some vitals, hx, etc for this gentleman please mateo? Gotta give me somethin to play with here. Now that is thinking out of the box. I'm impressed. It's something I'll run with. How long has he been celebrating? Last ate, and what? Is the beer green? And if so, what did they use to turn the beer green, if not food coloring? Any other ETOH? BGL? If available, ETOH level. (I still think ambulances should have breathalizers, IMHO) What does the monitor show? Allergies to meds and other allergens? How has is urinary output been, especially with the ETOH consumption?
