Despite the heat!

It's been a bit quiet and today followed until the end of the day.

Having calmed and settled a hyperventilater up at Bondi Beach the partner and I are heading back to station to change over to a night crew when an MVA is given to a single responder at an address not that far behind us.

I pick up the mic and ask if we can assist from our current location (he shrugs his shoulders, no knocking off on time today) and around we go back towards Bondi.

Numerous calls are coming in for the job and while not all being the same address exactly their all close and describing the same accident.

A car going down a hill, swerves and clips a tree and launches itself through a steel pole hand rail and over and down a retaining wall (2.2 odd meters high) rolling and landing on the drivers side.

No passenger, driver somehow self extricated, spinal precautions, several minor glass cuts, pop in a line (pleased with that, a portly Asiatic patient not known to have very easy veins to find) a little antiemetic just to be safe and a few really good photo's to show the doctors. They always find it easier with a photo to believe us when we start telling them what, where and how of the car prangs.


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