Now for my favourite shifts, nights.

58M - IP (intoxicated person) who had managed to walk/stumble/weave & crawl to the footpath outside his home. Behind that door is his family, his bed and safety. I don't really want to take him to hospital but I have to convince his possibly long suffering wife that home is the best place.

35F - Severe abdo pain and just for interest she is ten weeks pregnant! Stay and get that pain under control and transport (it ended up not being anything to do with the fetus).

Assist another car with (and I still get blown away by this) advanced clinical skill and knowledge and just another set of older eyes.

42M - Unconscious at a Police Station and he was. Wearing a suit and had been talking to the taxi driver one minute normally and then just became unresponsive so the driver dropped him off at the Cop Shop??????????
Turns out the guy has a long history of white collar drug abuse, this was confirmed by the small amber bottle I found in the suit pocket - GHB (Gamma Hydroxybutyrate).

39M - Psychiatric transfer.

35F - Cancelled on the way. Seems the fractured leg could still walk.

23F - There had been a fight in the Cross and although there are multiple victims/pts from that this girl just collapses and appears to have had no connection with it.
Best GCS on scene is a 7 (E=1, V=1, M=5) and had not improved at triage. Suspect Drug use.

83M assist of the floor, uninjured.

Assist another car with a NOF fracture.

Random question why do some officers still use a floppy twisty carry sheet to carry a broken bone rather than a scoop stretcher. No need to answer.

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