Oh, there you are!

25 August 2009

Night One was one for the ladies!!!

Or rather they made up the majority of our pts.

Assault - Unable to locate.

34F, 3/24 of Diarrhoea.

16F, Intoxicated, Mum had been called so we waited, she was more than happy to take pt home.

44F, Intoxicated, friends called but pt wanted to go home, they were staying with her so they did.

64M, Has two inner ear conditions and had a syncope after leaving a club with live band, wonder why?????

18F, Decreased LOC, not intoxicated, history of similar idiopathic.

25M, Intoxicated found by police. They told me as we approached that they tried the sternal rub I showed them to nil effect, showed them a new one 'Chinese Ear Rub'. Lay flat of hand on the external ear and move back/forward real quick, older brothers have been doing this to little brothers for years. It worked and out of the kindness of their hearts they were going to drive him home until he pulled out the ol' fella and pissed over himself and the back of the cage truck he was in. New destination the charge room.

25F, # foot, dumb ox B/f stood on it. The swelling was that tight I couldn't even check for pulse.

35F, Osteogenisis Imperfecta underlying condition, suspected # post fall.

Finished up with a job that I still feel uneasy about, the transport of an alleged sexual assault victim. The victim can be male or female but the aggressor is nearly always a male.
I am very mindful of the respect and trust for my profession by the victim and ashamed to be a man.

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