Oh it was a long shift.

We took over a day shift pt so they could knock off and we unloaded that pt nearly two hours into our shift.

82F - Fall, assist to feet a quick general assessment and she's fine to choose to stay at home.

Then we get tasked to go west for coverage, like 40-50klm away.
That's like the other side of the moon for us, get the GPS out!!!!!!

58F - Vomiting a Diarrhoea, we walk down the 'stay at home' path which is best, if there are no red flag exclusions, to manage this condition, she'd prefer this so easy job.

77F - Simple mechanical fall onto wrist and left hip. Osteoporosis Hx so transport is needed so off we go to try and find a hospital,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, we found it eventually and then we waited. All hospitals were the same, that's why we got sucked out here because they didn't have any vehicles. It's part of the job, you accept it and get on with the job or it eats you rotten.

Six hours later we're back in the city,

94M - Pulled out his SPC, round trip to the hospital where it's re-inserted and back we go to the N/h.

21F - Knee injury while in bed alone! She says she rolled over, heard a snap with instant pain? No deformity that I can see so analgesia and transport.

94F - We're called for a blocked nose - SOB. She's in heart failure, that's why she has a pacemaker but the pulse is irregular!!! ECG shows more spikes than beats. Transport and not unload until nearly two hours past knock off to a day shift crew. Thank you girls.

986 jobs/130 shifts = 7.59 average.

Not long to go now just another 14 shifts to give me an annual total of patients

See you at the big One.
