First Night.

Twenty minutes searching Central Railway Station for maybe a male with maybe chest pain or maybe not and the ever present Transit Cops know nothing about it!

Found him, on the lowest platform, three tracks underground.

Central heavy pain, slightly clammy, a little SOB, no CABGs or confirmed AMIs.
Oxygen, aspirin, one GTN, two GTN, three GTN no change to the pain.
We've gained the surface by now and are loaded and en route.
ST elevation and maybe some ECG changes.
As I've said before our Defibs are to shock not diagnose.

Can't remember the next pt.
Must have been a stunning job then!

Last pt was a DD (developmentally delayed) pt who was found (after a search again) at Central Station complaining of knee pain. I had seen this person walking without any difficulty while we had been searching.

No ID, obvious lies being told to us and Hospital staff and then I found the phone they had hidden. Found a listing for Mum and rang her.

Pt had had an argument with family and had run away with thirty odd dollars and a soft toy horse.

Mum and Dad were going to drive to the city (two hour trip one way) to pick them up.

And that was it, three jobs for the night.
Yes I was dirty on it. But that's the way it rolls some shifts


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