As evidenced in a number of recent disasters, there appears to be an increasing trend, for health care professionals to leave the confines of the hospital to provide on-scene care.

There was no loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, or chest or abdominal pain associated with the episode. No focal neurologic deficit or vertigo was described.
