Three Paediatric patients in four shifts.

That's a high percentage.

5M - Collies fracture of the left forearm. Wouldn't have a bar of the inhaled analgesia so I had to play Bad Ambo while Dad held his head and squirt some Fentanyl up his nose. It worked well enough that he let me give him some more later.

79M - Vomiting, turned out it had been just one earlier in the day but he wanted to go to hospital.

25M - Found on the street with multiple facial abrasions that looked like he had just fallen over against a wall. He was well plastered and could give us any reason or cause for the injuries nor give us the D/M/Yr so collared and transported him.

18F - Backpacker with abdo pain.

17M - Feeling faint after antihistamines for an unexplained hives reaction??? transport for further investigation.

71F - Just discharged post op for three cardiac bypass grafts, woken by chest pain and palpitations. That's going to get a trip to hospital I don't care that it feels better now, way too many risks here.

One more week before I have to take more holidays, they're going to be hard to take.

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