Oh, there you are!

28 February 2010

Late call for overtime.

39M - One of our regular callers, gets drunk and depressed and threatens self harm. Tonight he had used a broken bottle on his wrists, very out of character for him.

26M - Got assaulted at a public telephone, called us and just wanted the blood cleaned off refusing offers of transport for any kind of check up.

20M - IP, had fallen over and split the underside of his chin. He was funny as hell to watch we had to hold his hand so he could walk nearly straight, just comical.

76M - Lung CA with pain unrelieved by own meds.

20F - IP and vomiting, UTL.

65M - IP passed out in the back of a taxi. Police attended also and gave him a lift home after they woke him up.

81F - Hypertensive, without any interventions by ourselves or the hospital her BP came down all by itself. Suffers anxiety attacks.

32M - IP, ?head injury, ? fractured arm, ? seizure, ? a prat. Hospital staff confirmed the the fracture and prat status later.

72F - Dry throat thought she couldn't breath. Another anxiety sufferer.

87F - Syncope sitting on the toilet. It was either a NOF or pelvic fracture. Last job of the night so we didn't get to come back later to find out.

And now I'm on days off, two of them before my next block of three weeks holidays start but I have put my name down for O/t.


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