The ambulance reached Walter Reed’s house, and Maya and Eli went inside with their equipment. Walter was conscious, but it was clear that he was in medical distress. Eli checked his pulse and breathing right away.
Walter said that he had chest pain and felt weak. Eli gave him oxygen and began treatment as the emergency procedure required, while Maya brought in the monitor and wrote down Walter’s vital signs. After that first stabilization, the crew decided he needed to be taken to the hospital.
Walter’s condition became more controlled, though it was still serious. The crew got him ready to be loaded into the ambulance. At the start of treatment, no family member was inside the house.
