You grab your bag, and run to your car. Luckily Mr Hunt's flat is only 10 minutes drive away.

You find Mr Hunt on the floor at the bottom of a flight of stairs. Deborah is pressing on his head with a tea-towel as you asked.

Your assessment reveals that Mr Hunt has a patent airway, is tachypnoeic at 24 breaths a minute, tachycardic at 115 beats a minute, and is responsive to voice. However, he is very confused, not recognising his daughter, speaking incomprehensibly, and not responding to commands. He is hot and sweaty to the touch, and has wet himself.

You realise Mr Hunt is very unwell, and needs to go to hospital. You call 999, and within 10 minutes an ambulance has arrived to take him to St. George's Accident + Emergency.
