I lose my partner and gain a new officer to our station but not the sector, he used to work near Australia's best known beach.
The weather got cooler and that may have slowed down our normal punters last night?
77M - Slipped in the shower and looks like a fracture neck or Humerus or shoulder.
53F - Chest pain, resolved when we got there and with a cardiac history.
60F - Chronic alcoholic transferred from big hospital to little hospital for detox program.
53F - No acute medical problem, Hx of MS, fully wheelchair bound absconded from a very much southern nursing home to come to the big smoke to see a few movies. It's now after midnight and there is now trains home??? Police called us, it doesn't naturally fall into ambulance work but we are social workers too. Transport to the safe environment of a hospital till the morning. Turns out that a Missing Persons report had been filed by the nursing home after they found her missing.
40M - Opiate OD, not that deep and popped up well with 800mcg Naloxone IMI after a good five minutes of oxygen first. To students always give them plenty of oxygen first, less likely to come up swinging and pissed with you.
89M - Dialysis pt.
I'm off to have a chat to the Service in Tassie tomorrow.
Lots of mixed emotions and a lot less surety of why, a bit like My Fair Lady, I've grown accustomed to her (ASNSW) face.
421/56 = 7.52
Be careful out there and I'll see you at the Big One.
