I work with two different partners this roster one on first day and night and another on second day and night.
They are both level two officers, meaning I don't have to watch them all the time.
They can care for a pt by themselves.
This will be different.
80F - Chest infection, no doubt about that.
24F - Vertigo, ? inner ear infection.
22F - ? Hypo, a family history. Refused transport but going to see own Dr.
61M - Courthouse job, Chest Pain, real chest pain. Large ST depression, BBB, QRS complex 0.16sec. Jumped about Five other crews as we had bat called this pt.
30F - in the local Psych ward, ? unconscious.
Don't pull this shit with city ambos, this is an area we excel in, the unconscious pt, so you better be unconscious or I will ridicule you for bunging it on.
One minute after our arrival the pt had stood up unassisted, walked to the stretcher unassisted and we transported for medical clearance.
41M - Chest pain. Had a motorbike accident a week ago and the ribs hit the handle bars???
33M - Lost control of his scooter and got his right leg caught under it. Fracture Tib/Fib. Interestingly he got 25mg of IV Morph and it didn't touch the sides. He told me a similar experience with Morphine with a past injury. This is the second person I have met that has this response or rather lack of response to Morphine.
Be careful out there and I'll see you at the Big One.
