2 am, dispatched by 911 to possible code blue. Upon arrival, find two very inebriated frequent flyers duking it out. PD is separating them. Turns out that pt passed out, his buddy was too drunk to tell the difference, so he assumes his friend is in full arrest, calls 911 and starts CPR. Passed out guy comes around while his buddy is lip locked onto his face and that’s when the swinging commenced. PD explains the situation to both parties and when we left, they were hugging each other.

Pt presents with lacerations and abrasions to his hands, knees and ankles. Turns out he was riding his bike while watching a rowing race next to him, with a beer in one hand and decided to clap while going down a hill. What upset him the most was he lost the contents of his beer.
