On the evening of 7/29/23, I was asked to come in due to the nurse working floor stating she was overwhelmed. On arrival, I got a report of this patient having several complaints of pain and not feeling well. According to staff working directly with the patient, the patient’s pain seemed like it was getting worse. Upon my assessment the patient seemed to be in distress and was reporting intense pain all over. We sent the patient out with EMS to Arkansas Children’s Hospital for further evaluation. They reported vitals within normal limits and a diagnosis of syncope. We have requested lab results and are currently awaiting them.
