Hot Police Back-Up Please, Officers being Assaulted!

We're unhurt, the pt is down the list a little.

89F - Prosthetic Hip Dislocation. It's the fifth time in five years that this has happened. She is a very active lady and just forgets the limitations of the hip.

85F - Post an angio transferred from the large hospital to a small one.

Unknown - a triple 000 call came from a mobile and hung up, call backs went to a default message bank. The building was a commercial eleven story with multiple business on each floor. The job was over an hour old. We called it UTL.

76F - Slipped off a chair at home. No injuries but very limited mobility really should have come to hospital but with full facilities she has the right to refuse.

60M - Hypo, BSL 1.3, easy job, twenty minutes later it was 5.9 and he left with some advise to eat something substantial.

27F - Faint at work. Elected to take the rest of the day off and rest up at home.

85M - From Air Ambulance to a hospital. Coming in for a pacemaker.

58M - IP passed out on a bus. We eventually sit him up and tell him he has to get off the bus as the driver will not accept him as a passenger. We assist him off with care and sit him on a bench seat to try and discuss options. With a sudden burst of anger and rage he remarkably launches himself at my partner with fists and feet, chasing him out onto the street and around the vehicle.
I call for the Police and a bystander ducks into the NSW Police Mounted Divisions stable that we happen to be parked outside of.

Out come four officers to our rescue and restrain this person. A cage truck soon arrives and Police radio gives us information about this persons depraved and violent past.

Luckily none of us are injured and while for some reason he wasn't interested in me at all and at one stage he walked past me without making any aggressive movements towards me, he put plenty of wind up my partners skirt.

Thank you to our brothers and sisters of the NSW Police and also the concern from other road crews.

Violence against Paramedics is now a chargeable affair with fines and goal time and we are going to pursue this matter.

64F - Unable to bear weight on her left knee. Extensive skeletal Hx.

84F - Unwell, vomiting and diarrhoea, dehydration and shingles. It was a booked transport so off we went.

812 jobs/110 shifts = 7.38 average.

See you at the big One.
