Oh, there you are!

28 February 2010

The night before Mardi Gras.

The last I'm allowed to work before holidays.
Worked just past the airport where Jeff Fenech came from.

83F - Air Ambulance to big hospital, Mitral valve regurgitation.

33F - Forty minutes of 180bpm+ with reversion and a sharp pain without intervention. No cardiac history, very interesting, no cocaine, caffeine or other stimulants.

Vita Call - false alarm.

73M - Wife thinks he's febrile. everything checked out Ok but both of us knew that she wasn't going to be happy till we took them to hospital.

52M - from small hospital to the big hospital I took him too on the first proper day shift.

55M - Claims alcohol withdrawal symptoms despite having 20mg of Benzo's and some more booze. Again demanding transport, triage gave him a serve and straight to the waiting room.

76F - Lateral muscular neck pain, had a fall two days ago.

Dialysis pt who has Dementia, one of the nursing home staff had to help me drag her out and then other dialysis pt came out and helped me get her out and took her inside. They told me they look after her to stop her wandering off.

Damnedest thing is, you know how dialysis pts always look sick and portly!
She had a trim figure and looked in excellent health?
She got good genes for some things.

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