Thompson Ridge Medical 2013

At approximately 1900, the Medical Unit Leader Trainee [MEDL(t)], located at a spike camp, evaluated a 20-year-old male camp crew member having an “anxiety attack.” Crewmember stated he had been off psychotropic medications for 4 days because he forgot them at home. His history included: schizophrenia, anxiety disorder, and “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” (ADHD). Crewmember said his anxiety was triggered by another crew member’s comment and he was now having difficulty controlling his anger. He stated that he felt like: “I could hit that guy”. Security suggested the crewmember be transported to a local hospital in an ambulance with one of their security personnel riding along to ensure the safety of all involved.
