Had a patient begin to act strangely in front of the police after they were stopped for perhaps driving. When we arrive, the patient is still having intermittent seizures. Surprisingly, the police officer joins us after we get them onto a stretcher and into the back of the ambulance.
I tell them, “Yo, if you want this medication, I need you to stop so I can start and IV real quick,” as the shaking begins again as I grasp their arm. The patient stops to allow me to begin the line, and they resume as soon as I declare my completion.
