We attended an "acting strange" ? TIA. The patient had phoned 999 herself as she was feeling off, she'd suffered a TIA a few days earlier and attended A&E with hubby. Diagnosed as a TIA she was due further follow up after the Xmas break. On arrival she met us at the door and she looked ill. Sometimes you can see that they're not right, she was not right. Very disorientated, mumbling and shuffling. We heloped her back into the front room and sat her down when she said "can you have a look at my husband, he's acting odd too". Hubby was sat in a chair looking vacant. My mate stayed with her and i went over to him. He looked round when i said hello and just didn't click that I was ambulance crew. He looked ill too. After a few mins of "who are you, how did you get in, who are you, whay are you here, who are you" etc from him it was obvious that something was VERY wrong. Then my mate says that he's feeling poorly. *Click*. It's VERY windy outside and the heating's on full blast. Hmm, could it be Carbon Monoxide poisoning? With that thought in mind I opened the curtains and opened the windows, my mate opened the back door and the conservatory wiondows and found the central heating which he turned off. Then I legged it out and got the chair, I also contacted control for a second vehicle. Back in the house we loaded the hubby on and got him out and into the vehicle, then it was back in for the wife. On getting her out the other vehicle arrived and we passed he onto them. Back in the house again and it's close all the windows and doors. Fair enough we've opened them but I'm sure they'd have gone ape if they'd been burgled whilst they were in A&E!!! My mate attended the wife, I atteneded the hubby and the second crew split to drive both vehicles, we'd both been in and out the house and were feeling a bit off ourselves. Off to A&E and the Op's Super is there, control had called him. He's a good lad, on the crew's side. Dropped off the patients and he's offering to contact control to get us back to station for a break. My mate's still feeling poorly but I'm not too bad and OK to drive. back to base and chill with a cuppa. The next day i checked up and the patients HAD been suffering from Carbon monoxide poisoning. Blood tests proved it. The high winds had stopped the gas from venting properly and the house had filled up over a few hours. The wife's previous TIA was most likely the same poisoning! Why did I type all that? Well, when the ops super rang control to get us back for a break the control room manager said, "they can't be ill, they were only in there five minutes". It turned out they didn't even want to send a second vehicle and had called the ops super to try and get him to come down and tell us to take both! So well done on getting a second vehicle!
