Fainting Spell

Agreed to work 4 hours this morning because they had no one to cover the suburban shift because of the skill sessions. I had to get off at ten to be sure I could make it to the noon sesssion.

Only one call -- at a doctor's office where we are being called extremely frequently of late. A tall thin 21-year old female had a brief syncopal episode while paying her bill. She said she felt hot then passed out. She was all bundled up against the cold day. A thin, pale girl who probably doesn't eat much. She had no signs or symptoms when we got there and we took her in BLS. I think they were worried because she had fallen skiing a few days ago -- she was there because her knees were bruised -- and they were worried it was something serious. So they called us, and we drove her in while her boyfriend followed in his car.
