It rained!

It really hasn't stopped.

Totally soaked when I got to work even with a rain jacket on, it just seeped in everywhere.

A very slow start at work it was too.
Three hours before the first job rolled in for me.

76F - A Twenty Five year Hx of Epistaxis. Several times a year they will get bad enough to require hospitalisation, today was one of them. It had been going for eight hours when we arrived.

51M - Ex heroin/methadone pt hanging out hurting. Sunday is not a good time to need a methadone program.

87F - Simple fall in the street, helped up by general public. Walked home and couldn't get to her floor. Proximal Humorous Pain, Iliac Crest Pain and Rib pain.

45M - 2cm facial laceration. Refused to come to hospital for glue or stitches.

65M - Assaulted with minor injuries, they caught the guy who did it too!

?55M - Call from the general public concerned for the safety of an ???? intoxicated person. The public were trying to restrain him for god sake!!! Luckily he escaped and we were unable to locate.

21F - At her yoga class. Crossing the legs to the lotus position and sharp click and the left knee locks up with major pain. With some analgesia we're just lifting to place on the stretcher and click it's good again!!! Transport for ortho exam and physiotherapy consult.

Now what are these numbers?

They're an average of my work load that includes the post just done, so in this case;

454 Jobs / 61 days = 7.44 jobs per shift


See you at the Big One and you be careful out there.
