The following night was also above average.

18F - Had threatened self harm in front of a witness. Look it was most likely just a simple argument about nothing but you can't pick up a pair of scissors and say something dumb because that's where I become involved and believing that you don't have to cooperate only makes it worse.
I really think that she just has some issues that can be resolved with simple conversation rather than medication or in patients services.

75M - Call was for a public assistance off floor but as a diabetic with high sugars post normal insulin and with reduced mobility we thought it better to transport.

20M - Was being transported by police and had a reduced GCS. By the time we arrived this very intoxicated young fella had perked up and the police were happy to continue with returning him to home.

54M - In another Police stations cells, c/o chest pain, key word that Police act on. Again very intoxicated and not very cooperative but we eventually got it out of him that five weeks ago he had suffered some rib fractures and it was those playing up. He didn't want to go to hospital but just some simple analgesia.

21M - After a domestic argument he got depressed and picked up a knife and started some bad thoughts. In a flash of rational thought he knew this was wrong and unable to think of anyone else to call he called the Cops. The knife was secured, he had had a talk to his mum on the phone but still would have liked to talk to someone about this episode. No previous Hx of mental health we did transport and found out later that he had flown of the handle at hospital staff with verbal threats and had to be restrained????

51F - With what I can only call a 'Man Cold'. Demanding hospital. Yes she was sick but no she didn't need a hospital or a bed, after being put in the waiting room she jumped in a cab while the case sheet was still being written.

23F - Found by Police drunk and asleep in a doorway. A tourist from interstate she was so lucky the Cops found her. We gave her a lift back to her motel and to the room and her worried friends who had lost her in the Cross.

63M - At a Police station with blood around his mouth not making any sense. The blood was dried red wine and he was just speaking a complicated dialect of 'Pistonese'. Pistonese is a common dialect of the Derro allys of most large cities which while similar to slurred speech is much harder to translate due to varying speed, syllable structure, dribbling and interspersed laughter. The old fella had called in on his way home to thank the Police for being heroes and reducing crime in his suburb. After I explained this to the station front counter staff they shook his hand, accepted his thanks and we took him home.

1065 jobs/139 shifts = 7.68 jobs per shift average.

See you at the big One..
