Oh, there you are!

15 August 2009

Last night.

Better.

89F - Unwell, c/o decreased appetite but could have seen her LMO on Monday.

16M - Too young, and can't handle his booze, peaked around 2000hrs and was wasted.

66F - IDDM with high BGL (21.7) and a good fever (39.2 tymp), confused Dah!

20M - Cyclist traveling 25km run up the rear by a car at ?? 40km. Rear wheel of the bike was completely buggered, the helmet, on the rear right was cracked right through the foam. Landed on the windscreen of the car and walked to the footpath. Full spinal precautions, bat phoned it to the receiving hosp and the only pain was in the lower back and left shoulder.

47F - Exact same age as me, everything hurts. Interesting to see the difference alternate live choice decisions can have.

25M - Call came from the police, found at the front of what was his building but unable to remember where his keys were. We had a chat and then it came to him (the letter box) he retrieved them and disappeared inside.

The pick of the night,

28M - Assault, reports say 20+ beating him up. When I looked at him I flashed on another job I had done several months ago with a F police officer. His injuries oral trauma, large lac on the occipital, glass lac that you could put your finger into under the chin but not as far as the throat luckily, left orbit and zygoma just one huge contusion and gross swelling, amnesic to the event and perseverant questioning.

So yes I was happy with the night, Padawan and I talked about the trauma job, noted that the gelling and working as a team is developing along with his confidence.

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