A patient is found collapsed on the sidewalk in a very crowded urban area during a street festival. No one seems to know anything about the patient. The patient can form some words that you understand, such as “neck hurts”: He does not respond to any extremity command or stimulus. You re-check the neck area and find one small external wound and no apparent trauma to the head. Upon re-checking his BP, you find that it has gone from 138/68 to 86/40. Transport is started with this patient and you conclude that this open wound has caused a: Stroke. Head injury. Hemorrhage. Spinal cord injury.A patient is found collapsed on the sidewalk in a very crowded urban area during a street festival. No one seems to know anything about the patient.
