Crime scene confidential documenting assessment and management of crime victims.
It started out as a routine call for an assault downtown on a Friday night. Dispatch tells you the assailants are gone and the scene is safe. You arrive with a first-response engine to find a woman in her 20s, supine on the sidewalk near the staircase of a motel. A man, who identifies himself as her boyfriend, says they were "jumped" by three men and robbed. The patient was pushed down the stairs in the struggle. She has a decreased level of consciousness and responds to voice by moaning.
