Symptom narrative

After vaccination, mother came out of exam room, panicked, stating that she needed someone immediately as patient had passed out and hit his head. Dr. went into the room to find patient laying on the floor in a prone position. He was able to arouse patient within a matter of 1 to 2 seconds through speaking to him. Advised him to remain laying down, but patient quickly arose and got onto the exam table. Somewhat confused after getting onto the table. He was instructed to lay down and be still. He sat up, stating that he could taste blood in the back of his throat. I examined his throat and nose and did not see any source of bleeding. Physical examination of his skull and neck (done with him lying supine on the exam table was normal. No tenderness elicited. Iadvised him to stay in a laying position and not move at all while we monitored him for the next 15 minutes or so. Within 5 minutes, patient began reporting pain in his head and neck. For this reason, I advised calling EMS, and somebody staying with him until EMS arrived to ensure that he did not move his head or neck. Advised getting a c-collar in place if we had it available. Within 10 minutes, EMS arrived, and patient's medical care was turned over to them.
