Think Twice About Sleeping Naked

Reporting from On Scene
Incident: Medical Assist


I don't know how many of you have ever been told by your mother to put on clean underwear before going out in case you are ever in an accident and need to go to the hospital, but I have some advice that pertains to staying at home:
Don't sleep naked!
That way, when you wake up having one serious major asthma attack (or some other emergency) you are not found unconscious and naked on the floor after dialing # 911 by 4 firefighters, 2 paramedics and 2 police officers.  That can/could be rather embarrassing as a woman in her early 30's found out.

We ended up covering her up with some sheets and loading her for transport to ER while giving her a breathing treatment.

I guess that her mother didn't quite prepare her for everything.
