Medical PTSD
I was in and out the whole ride to the hospital. Vaguely, I remember the EMT in back with me placing an oxygen mask over my face and calling in report. Some parts of the report stuck with me, like when he said I was” alert and oriented”. I could barely catch their words because I couldn’t stay conscious the whole ride down there. Another part I caught was when he said my heart rate which was around 165 was my baseline. He claimed that my oxygen levels were 95% on room air, but I was on 3 L of oxygen. Then he ended the report by stating that I was well-known to their facility. My medical PTSD began revving up at this point.
