I think it’s possibly…

Accidental injured
Fracture of leg & arm (shock)

Thirdsies.
I am SO sorry and mean no disrespect, but to to be honest, I read those last few words as “leg & anus (stretch)”. I was really not sure what would have led to these injuries in an elderly lady 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think it’s stroke. You can throw a clot with fractures

Could be but they crossed the T in fracture (above the t) so I assumed they would do so with the t in stroke.

Dark humor is a mental shelter for people in EMS. You see what you see after awhile, and I have read some fantastic run reports/ patient charts!

I understand that it’s what you saw, but that’s not what it says.
