Sample input
Call summary: I responded to an adult with worsening shortness of breath in a crowded apartment. Family members were anxious and speaking over each other. No identifying information is included. Sequence: We entered, created space, made patient contact, gathered a partial history, obtained initial vitals, prepared for transport, reassessed in the unit, and transferred care. I am unsure when the medication list was reviewed. Friction: Roles weren't stated clearly. I thought my partner was gathering medications, while my partner thought I was. My handoff also jumped between history and reassessment findings. Constraints: Tight space, several family members, interpreter need, and heavy radio traffic. Follow-up urgency: Before the next shift
