The consultant had long prepared for this morning. He had met the management, reviewed the accounting, talk with the staff, market research, developing a strategy. Remediation. This should now be presented today tomorrow. The PowerPoint presentation, video projector, a laptop, hand-outs, everything was perfect. Perfectly dressed and prepared was the consultant. But his performance became confused. So confused that the company's management called for a half hour for an ambulance. The doctor found the employee, embarrassed, in the meeting room before coffee cans. A mid-50-year-old, well dressed, but completely disoriented, perplexed, troubled, almost panicked. Unfortunate. Vital signs normal. Perhaps a strange stroke? Withdrawal? Amphetamines? Careful questions in camera: age, name, family, occupation unknown. Consultant. The order was recalled. But everything else, time and place? As he was coming here? What had happened? Why the fuss? Why a doctor and paramedics? the ambulance always the same questions every 30 seconds: "Please, excuse me, where are we Where are we going?" The doctor explained. Once, twice, again and again. 30 seconds later: "Please, excuse me, where are we Where are we going?" Always in the same distressed tone. Apparently, he forgets everything the same again. The memory will be deleted immediately. Only with questions about past events, it is distracting for a while, then again: "Please, excuse me, where are we Where are we going?" Later, the doctor has seen patients from time to time with such a strange short-term amnesia, still perplexed, alarmed difficult, even the relatives who had to repeatedly explain the circumstances. This was also the last Emergency Service, on Sunday. Eventually he remembered the name of this disease again: "Transient global amnesia (TGA)" or "Amnestic episode" . Since he was able to calm the relatives. And write a report about it.

He came from a different city. Was picked up at the terminus of the S-Bahn. Came with the ambulance in the ambulance. No name, no papers, not able to give information. Late twenties, perhaps, but emaciated senile, emaciated, weak and dirty stinking. An appointment slip in the purse of a medical practice, methadone program. A drug addict.
Drogies wants no one in the hospital. They demand of doctors and nurses from the strong sedative varieties. Steal them from the medicine cabinet. Then make a hasty retreat, when the handbags have the Omis ransacked and put the whole station in turmoil. But this can not dismiss the doctor.
lice, dirty, perhaps HIV-positive? Not even survivability, short of breath. When coughing gushing pus term. But no fever.
Luckily, there are also courageous in that hospital nurses who do not have to pity such a person to bathe first, wash to run away.
After the shooting investigation on clean bed, clean, shaved patient in white sheets: When he uses to put out the breathing, pulse, too. Neurological reactions completely gone. All of a sudden everything to zero. Complete. And irreversible: All resuscitation efforts, with anesthesiologists, intensive care unit, an hour long, all in vain. No QRS-wave, no own breath, no pupil reaction. Unusual that someone could soon be as dead. Even old, weak heart patients show now and then little heart operations or movements during resuscitation. Here: Nothing.
The rapid end of a short life.
The autopsy revealed nothing but a lung infection at a reduced general condition.
The relatives were opened only days later by police. They had no questions.
red! 
Why not it going?

was once called the ambulance in a villa in the suburbs. Clean front garden, wide input range, space, stuffy cosiness. But it was the master's bad. He struggled in his big double bed, dizziness, weakness, nausea. The toilet collapsed, cold sweaty. The members very concerned. He complains but not otherwise.
liberally access, an IV. Blood pressure rather low.
For weeks the back pain in the chest, radiating to the front. Still lie on the bed, the vials, which has given the family doctor: diclofenac plus Dexamethasone. He was probably every day because he was a personality in the city.
no question of an emergency. An emergency situation that can, like all other emergencies quickly go to the hospital because the site they investigated very little. With blue light. Now.
But he will not. Knows the hospital well. The structures that person. Signs that he denied who are passengers. So, all the hoses off and get well soon.
No hour later, the second deployment there. Now the man was in shock. Could the emergency admission not disagree.
found later, surgeons at the hospital a large bleeding gastric ulcer. The man has not the operation survived.
Quick 
A dark corridor. The living room crammed closely. For decades old cigarette smoke. In the dim light a man on the leather sofa. Coffee table with blood pressure monitor, blood glucose meter and a full ashtray. He complains of dizziness, weakness, ringing in the ears. No wonder, high blood pressure? Diabetes? The woman begins to pick up all the drugs he takes. Yes, all. Please. Insulin, Delix ...
He is weak, varies in sitting, mumbles a bit. BZ 220, pulse 120, blood pressure 80, by palpation. Aha, that's enough. Skin moist but not overheated, sweaty. No fever so. The blood pressure tablet today is not taken. So where, asks the doctor, the low blood pressure?
The framed photos on the wall and show it to the woman. He worked there 20 years younger, they are not. He is not good. Pale he is. Narrated now criss-crossed by previous operations, different doctors, who with whom, in practice, the back pain ... The woman also ...
back pain, pain killers, maybe black stools? Blood loss?
Yes, and for days.
Now fast: ambulance call, access basket, fill slips. When arriving rescue Assis: Attach Ringer. Everything fits: bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, perhaps by Togal. The pallor, dizziness when sitting, the rapid deterioration of the seriousness of the situation-
RR: 80 /..., HF: 140, Saturation: 99 In the ambulance the man is not just responsive. Then the blood pressure rises in HAES infusion.
The little woman in the ambulance is probably the doctor. She introduces herself not as she takes over the patient.
