Stroke at Custom House

A call came from the Iloilo Custom House at around 5:15 in the afternoon. A possible stroke patient was reported by the custom house personnel. ICER quickly responded on foot to the scene as it was only a stone's throw away from the office and there was no available ambulance due to multiple calls at that exact same instance. Upon arrival, the guard on duty informed the team that the patient is upstairs. The team then proceeded to the second floor and saw the patient sitting. The team assessed the patient and obtained vital signs. The team then informed the office that it's a possible stroke due to the signs and symptoms manifested and given by the patient and his family, the team then requested dispatch to prioritize their patient requesting for an immediate ambulance diversion to transport the patient to St. Therese Hospital.
