Scenario28 yo man brought in by 2 squad cars for running around and screaming
in his sister’s apt building. Not making sense and scaring people. He was just returning from an escapade of stealing and losing his brother’s car. Appeared paranoid and delusional. According to family, he had just moved to town and was off his meds. 5’11”, 230 lbs, long dreadlocks, had played football in high school.
Upon arrival in the ED, he sat down briefly. Vital signs stable, no medical history. Refused UDS. Told the triage nurse he was previously on a Haldol injection, but said, “I love weed,” then stood up abruptly and walked away, saying, “I know you’re trying to kill me.”
What is your emotional reaction to this? What do you think? What do you do?

Scenario: part 3Returns to triage booth and sits down.Labile in interview: angry, friendly, fearful.Has flight of ideas. People are trying to kill him.Says, “I’m Bipolar.”Asks for weed. Works better than anything to control his temper. Only problem
is that he’s out of money to buy it.Insists it’s July 1st and his check should have come today.You gently attempt some reality testing: today is really June 30th. All
conversation proves useless.
You describe your view of the problem and invite his ideas, but everything you say escalates him. He stands up.
What do you think and do? Any options?

3. I really think you need a little medicine.Persuading.
4. You’re having a psychiatric emergency. I’m going to get you some emergency medication. It works well and it’s safe. Inducing
5. I’m going to have to insist. Coercing. Last resort.

Scenario: part 3Returns to triage booth and sits down.Labile in interview: angry, friendly, fearful.Has flight of ideas. People are trying to kill him.Says, “I’m Bipolar.”Asks for weed. Works better than anything to control his temper. Only problem
is that he’s out of money to buy it.Insists it’s July 1st and his check should have come today.You gently attempt some reality testing: today is really June 30th. All
conversation proves useless.
You describe your view of the problem and invite his ideas, but everything you say escalates him. He stands up.
What do you think? What do you do? Would it be all right to revert back to the traditional goals of management?

Stabilize before probing
• Necessary to deal with the underlying problem
• But if talking about it came easily, the individual wouldn’t have resorted to such extreme coping skills.
• Defer digging till the explosiveness is defused.

Symptoms before arrival count

Case example
26 yo male left detox center, went home, drank, came to PES voluntarily same day. Said to triage nurse, “I’m only here for anger management.” Breathalyzer .021.
Nurse told him that in order to really get help, he needs to be sober.
He said, “Don’t talk to me ever again about my addictions…You will not be able to help me at all because I already choked my girlfriend…I’m afraid I’ll f--- someone else up.” He then stood up from his chair and cocked his fists. Security came over.
On prior visit 7 days ago, same initial presentation, had just battered girlfriend, .064, he took Zydis Zyprexa 5 mg and Librium 75 mg. Accepted involuntary commitment to detox. Never escalated.
