A hot day in Sydney.

The mercury was touching 36C or 96F today and our first three patients were elderly.

81F - Dizzy and anxious. A talk, a cup of tea and some air conditioning had her feeling much better.

82M - Uninjured fall answering the door for his home care community nurse. Transport was for further aged care assessment and possible n/h or self care hostel placement because he can't continue to live alone safely.

??M - Sulking in his apartment. His sister rang because he wouldn't answer her calls. When he ran the building concierge to tell us to go away, it was enough for me, we left.

94M - Discharge to N/h after three weeks in hospital.

35M - Deceased. No obvious cause, treated it as suspicious.

45M - Metho drinker who hadn't had a drink in eighteen hours, post ictal.

25M - Fall on some stairs, lower flank pain. There were signs of injury to be totally fair.

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