Oh, there you are!

Can you give cement to a Pt?

Only just enough so they could toughen the Fu*k up, like this guy.

30M - Had got off the bus outside work, was talking to another employee, finished, turned to walk into work and walked into a street sign pole. Not ran, not tripped and fell but walked and hit his head.
Rang for an ambulance because his head hurt, there was no visible injury, there was no swelling, there was bleeding, there was no mark at all. There was no motor/sensory deficit apart from the moment he had hit the pole and it 'went dark and I could see stars and my legs were like jelly'. He had taken no analgesia and had only called his mummy who was a Dr who thought he should go to hospital.
I'm aware of the worst case scenario and complications but he hadn't even tried an icepak and some simple analgesia, no called for an ambulance and talked it up so hit was a hot response more lives at risk because he's a soft co*k.

40M - Poly-pharmacy OD. Anti-hypertensive and herbal sleeping tablets.

21F - Period pain, nearly bad enough to make her nearly faint, or so she told us after we arrived to find her sitting in reception waiting for us. (MORE CEMENT NEEDED). It was given a hot response for a pt who decided that 'Oh no I don't want to go to hospital'.

52M - Know street dweller seen to have what sounded like a good description of a seizure on a park bench.

39F - Chest pain from a Dr's clinic. I think it was more to rule out cardiac issues or ischaemia really.

32F - Hypoglycaemia, it took a good while to bring her back and she was at work so I was keen to transport.

9/12mth M - had a chomp on a brittle plastic Christmas tree ornament and freaked the shit out of mum. The was a minute amount of blood in a little drop of saliva from where he had spat it out. We transported and explored the back of the vehicle.

See you at the big One.
