Abstract
Ambulance 23 arrives at an extended care facility to transport an 86-year-old male. Dispatch assigned the crew to take the patient to his orthopedic surgeon's office to have a cast removed from his right leg. Facility staff members report the elderly resident has been a little short of breath today, but state he often exhibits signs of respiratory distress.
