MYSTERIOUS WEAKNESS: Life-threatening condition can be managed in the field

摘要

The paramedic crew on Medic 3, dispatched to a bus stop for a "sick person," arrives to find an approximately 25-year-old male sitting alone on a bench. He's in obvious respiratory distress and complaining of worsening dyspnea, as well as weakness, fatigue and muscle spasms in his extremities. The patient reports that he just traveled across the country by bus. He also reports extensive medical history and says he "sees a bunch of doctors," but is unable to give further details.
