Oh, there you are!

20 June 2009

First Day.

Eight jobs done by our car which is a surprise for the wet, overcast day it was.

25F Dislocated Shoulder, told the trainer she couldn't do the last rep. Bit of any extreme way to prove it! 600 mcg Fentanyl IN worked well and relaxed pt enought to then cannulate.

34M Carbon Monoxide Inhalation, all good, was found in time and just required monitoring and help with the other stuff.

Gave Maxalon to a pt in the care of another crew who didn't have P1 qualification yet.

TeenageF with abdo pain, central and Supra Pubic, with out any of the other obvious symptoms, the pain response was real so I took care of that again with IN Fentanyl and transported.

Now lets start the age climb,

55M 1 day post fall to L Hip unable to weight bear, previous ortho surgery to that leg so it ain't straight or the same length anyway.

71F Near Syncope, lovely lady who is just starting to get a cold she thinks, but still took the dog for a walk and then walked to the shops and then stopped for a coffee all the while wearing a spencer vest, a long sleeved T-shirt, a flannelette shirt, a woolen jumper and a quilted jacket!!!
We gave her a lift home and some advise.

92F going in for a hip replacement. Won't catch her when it's done I reckon the nursing home will ask her to leave because she's a young person trapped in an old body.

94F Suspect a TIA.

Thirteen hours and twenty minutes shift length with two breaks, 23min and the whole 30min.

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