People Don't (Usually) "Just Fall Down!"
Aug 20, 2023 Season 1 Episode 11

Often as EMS providers we are called to the "fall" or even more mundane sounding, the dreaded "lift assist." We arrive, we help the patient up, and on our way we go. But when was the last time you stopped to think about how the patient ended up on the floor in the first place? Do some patients just trip over the cat? Certainly. But often, our fall patients are sicker than we perceive, and need our help to facilitate their care. Join me, as we explore the intricate components of patient assessment in a way that will help us all ensure there isn't more than meets the eye!
