Second Day.

30M, Sore face after being punched? You don't need to go to hospital.

36F, MVA, Central neck pain, sensory deficit hand/feet, nil LOC, GCS=15, played with the tools, Maxalon because of the C-collar in situ, touch of Morph for the pain and away we go.

37M, Drug Effected, told us it was ICE, poor quality if it was unless he had Benzos or Opiates on board as well? Transport for welfare because he was just all wrong.

38F, Intoxicated, Mental Health and Violence (she is) Issues. Transport.

54M, Opiate OD, Pisses me off when the gears just lying there in front of me and they deny taking it? Refused transport.

55M, per my current Padawan a confirmed case of 'Softcockalitis' I'd have called it a 'Man Cold'. He requested transport, he didn't need it but I am still bound to provide this waste emergency services.

62F, Chest pain, huge BBB, ST elevation, Type 2 DM with insulin currently hyper at 17.1mmol/litre, central heaviness radiating to left arm, we know what we're dealing with, it's Bread an' Butter time with a good job. Transported.

75F, Feels Dizzy, after getting up from bed to go to the toilet. Felt really great when we arrived and looked surprise when we asked 'do you want to go to hospital for further examination?'. This was not a frail person, this was a person who considers me as a government employee to be there for their use inappropriate or not.

78M from hospital back to his nursing home.

90F, UTI, probable increase in dementia like behaviour also.

Assist another crew to extricate an OBESE SOB pt.

The jobs didn't come in age order I just felt like listing them so.

Thirteen hours and ten minute shift with three min total break time.


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