Pleasant Vomiting

Respond emergency for a female who feels sick, and with a racing heart.

Sounds cool enough. (I like giving adenosine.)

We are met by the fire crew. "Leave your stretcher in the ambulance. She will be sitting on a john boat in the driveway."

Interesting.  (What's that bout a john boat?...)

"I vomited violently about an hour ago, and I want to go to the hospital. I laid down, and my heart started racing."

Sinus tach at 113.

"Violent vomiting" was mentioned no fewer than 15 times on the way to the hospital.

Straight to triage.
