Oh, there you are!

19 November 2009

Not much to start,

But it got better.

83M - Regular dialysis.
50M - Heroin OD, was talking so he just came with us to hospital to enjoy the trip safely.
13F - Epistaxis, reportedly has them quite regularly but has never had it looked at.
81M - Had a stumble at a dermatologists clinic and the Dr wanted the pt to be observed?
75F - Takeaways, hospital to hospital transfer.
91M - GI haemorrhage, a whole day of melaena and haematemisis. Last I saw of him he had had my fluids, a bag of gel and two units of blood. You have to go sometime.
51F - Frequent flyer spent the day at the cricket before wanting to go to hospital with her gross cellulitis.
78M - fell over in town dropped by a medical centre and they put a stitch or two in his head and then rang us to transport him to a hospital for we don't really know.
57M - Slipped on a shop floor hurting wrist and then has a syncopal episode. Pale, diaphoretic, shit BP 60/40, Pulse 45-50 just, ST depression by two little boxes on average, managed to get the BP up with posture and some fluids and gave half a 600mcg GTN along with the Aspirin and O2. Infarcting, triage liked what we had and we went to resus.

Another life saved.


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