Oh, there you are!

08 January 2009

The most exciting thing about today,

Was the ride home.

Sydney weather brought on a storm around six and it was still going when I had finished and was ready to ride home.

It wasn't cold but as I do ???? share the road home with cars and it has been dry for a while I took it carefully.

We did have an a patient with an interesting underlying problem

Aperger's Syndrome
'A pervasive developmental disorder resembling autistic disorder, being characterised by severe impairment of social interactions and by restricted interests and behaviours, but lacking the delays in development of language, cognative function, and self-help skills that additionally define autistic disorder. It may be equivalent to a high-functioning form of autistic disorder'
Dorland's Medical Dictionary 30th ed.

Never heard of it before, basically alone the patient functions fine and even with one-on-one but severe dysfunction occurs when in a larger social group like a social dementia.

Anyway they had an upset stomach and had tried to get a fix from their GP but it had not helped, their social worker called us after five days of vomiting a few times each day.
Haemodynamically stable, transported to the waiting room.

Be careful out there and I'll see you at the Big One.
