An un-expected case...

This afternoon Anita was called to the clinic to check out a man that was reportedly stricken with a fever, and to assess the situation.

When she arrived, she found a man lying on a cot, severely dehydrated, very weak, and hardly able to speak. His wife was there, and she explained that he had been sick for over a week, and that they couldn't find anyone to carry him here until today.

She checked his vitals, and found very low blood pressure, and no fever.

After Michael came over to help diagnose the problem, they decided to bring him from the clinic over to the CTC.

They immediately put two IVs in him, and we carried him back over there.

After admitting him, he began to gradually stabilize.

Below are some pictures of the progression of events...
