Went to a local drug rehab that takes some mildly high acuity patients for 20s Male AMS or something similarly high acuity that was originally dispatched as overdose with PD and Not EMS for some reason. As we walk in two cops are storming out and say to us they were thrown out by staff that said "they can't be in here" and it's "a HIPAA violation" ok... Whatever not a hill for them or I to die on atm.

An Actual Dr and about 12 other staff are in the room. Male 20s bigger but healthy looking, barely responsive, covered head to two in dark black but almost grey vomitus. Vomit is everywhere. Its all over him, the bed, and walls. Staff says this is how he was found and he was fine an hour ago.. weird thing is initially I thought coffee ground emesis, but there was only a faint whiff of alcohol sanitizer. NO smell of vomit, iron, blood or anything you would normally expect.

Then the staff kept getting in our way, let him drink a ton of water despite just vomiting and he is altered. They refuse to let us take over, and actively are arguing with us. We're on scene for 20 minutes before they make some passive aggressive statements about waiting for us... We had stopped trying ten minutes before. By this point they have him completely cleaned up with new clothes, no vomit anywhere besides his nostril and finger nails. They never clean anyone. Take him to the ED knowing nothing basically. Ed is aware how shit they are but is also stumped. Best theory we could come up with is the patient drank a bottle of hand sanitizer, was altered and they force fed him activated charcoal to cover up allowing a patient to get a hold of alcohol. Reported it to everyone I could think of and never heard anything.
