Ethanolic Seizure or wino with severe shakes ??

AMBER1 Allocated (Man slumped in wheelchair outside pub)

We turned up outside the pub, and saw the bloke in the wheelchair surrounded by 5 gorgeous girls. So priorities first we tucked ourselves in and tried to look tonk and hench for these birds. After chatting to the patient and sending the birds on their way (wow those skirts were short) we wheeled him onto our truck and got him warm. He was awake and alert and full of laughter. Then a Police car pulled up to talk to us, so I jumped off and had a chat with the copper, at that precise moment another bird walked passed dressed in a fishnet dress and I totally forgot that I was talking to the copper.

Then I hear my crew-mate shouting for me, I ran over to our truck and noticed our patient fitting, we knew this was genuine because he automatically poo'd & pee'd himself. We manhandled him onto our bed and secured his airway with an Oropharyngeal Airway and wacked an 100% mask on, his vitals were all good so we weren't to worried apart from having poo and pee on our trousers. Then some help arrived by way of an FRU Colleague. With his help we stabilised him and placed a blue call into A&E (PRE Alert Call). On the way in, he went into respiratory arrest (stopped breathing) so we bagged and masked him (breathed for him) en-route to A&E.

After rushing him into resus, handing him over, booking him in and cleaning our truck we popped back into resus to see how he was doing, only to see him sitting up and talking. All that hard work paid off, or was he just a waste of space junkie. I'll let you decide. He got treated equally.
