Night shift after the second day shift.

Sick person alert.

37F - In car on the way, notes coming in on the job like, tingling in arms, unusual breathing, etc, you get were I'm going with this???? what we now have to refer to as a respiritory distress rather than hyperventilation.

Conscious, alert, orientated, pale, diaphoretic, weak pulse. Under investigation for uncontrollable hypertension, a tumor on the adrenal gland is suspected, at random while resting it will jump to 215/115 and return to 130/80 sometimes without meds sometimes only with meds.
Dropped an 18g in the Cube while Padawan got the stretcher, Aspirin and O2 also and en route she described that choking feeling in the neck that allowed me to give 1/2 a GTN tab under the AMI/Angina protocol and that got the BP down.

As usual this pt kept apologising all the way to hospital for being sick and calling us.

47F - Unwell, well you tied one on yesterday for the grand final, drank like a fish and choofed weed all night as well. It's your body saying STOP!!!!!!!!

18M - Interesting, the Cops called us because the driver at a random breath test claimed the passenger needed urgent medical assistance for ??? appendicitis. Passenger was very confused when we arrived and asked to check him out?? He hadn't been let in on the story by the driver and was in complete good health.

13M - Capsicum spray or Pepper spray is used by the Police to disable an offender.
20 or more youths fighting. The spray was just shot at anyone who didn't stop fighting on Police command.
Quick wash of the eyes, some instructions on how to avoid re-contamination and he and his mates pissed off at the first opportunity.

48M - Hypothermic at 33.7C or 92.6F and I checked it three time at different points.


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