Symptom narrative

A young man had his flu shot and said he felt faint. He was sitting at the time. I immediately got a pulse ox on his finger, watched him and talked to him. His 02 and HR were within normal range. He said he felt nauseated, and I got him a trash can. The college's medical director, who was participating in the clinic, came in the room and suggested he move to a couch in the next room. It would have been better for him to have stayed seated or to lie down there with a pillow. The medical director got him up and started to walk with him. I tried to get to the other side of him but she stayed ahead of me. He then fainted and fell into the stair rail, hitting his chin hard enough to draw blood. We then called an ambulance. He said he was OK, but I said we had a hit-your-head, go-in-the-ambulance policy. The ambulance arrived 15 or 20 minutes later and took him to the hospital.
