Oh, there you are!

11 May 2010

I'm a bit behind in posts.

Sorry, but I was really tired after each of the day shifts.

47M - Regular disabled person who sometimes needs help to his feet at home.

65F - From a nursing home, febrile for two days, looks like cellulitis in the right leg.

13M - Playing rugby, has a history of a neck injury last year and his parents are letting him play again!!!!!! A tackle, spinal pain, cervical spinal pain, I may have spoken a little too loud whilst on the field but this should have never been allowed to occur.

79M - Transfer from big hospital to a little hospital for low acuity care. Problem little hospital has no beds and big hospital didn't ring to check. Take pt back to big hospital and jump the queue waiting at triage because this is their stuff up and I'm refusing to get bed locked on their error.

79F - Minor injuries from a small fall but needs an Aged Care Assessment.

72M - Has a paced ticker, walked up a steep hill on this warm day and felt SOB and pre-syncope at the top, thinks it might be the pacemaker, all symptoms resolved when we arrive and for some reason nobody was interested in vasodilation with a bum ticker. Transported to a check up.

32F - Daily methadone, 750ml of port and a couple of Benzo's, I'd be more than nearly unconscious. Transport to sleep it of safe.

95F - Discharge to N/H.

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