Symptoms and Assessment
Brenda, what's been happening?
Brenda: I had a takeaway about half an hour ago.

Mark: Okay, do you have any allergies?
Brenda: Peanuts.
Mark: Brenda, please open your mouth for me.
Brenda: Okay.
Mark: Have you got any pain where you are?
Brenda: I just struggle to swallow.
Immediate Action
Mark: We need to get you moving straight away, Brenda. It looks like you're having an allergic reaction, okay?
Brenda: Okay.
Mark: Could we get the resus trolley around to triage, please? Quick. Quick. Immediately, thank you.
Mark: Alright, Brenda, let's get you lying down. We'll get you on the couch.

Mark: They're coming in to move you now, okay?
Brenda: Okay. Yeah.
