NYE.

And for us and our station it wasn't as feral or messy as we thought.
The party goers were well behaved in general as indicated in the media and by the Police.

30M - Scheduled by the Police, aggressive threatening behaviour to the public at a train station. Direct transport to the psych ward.

54F - Back pain? it sounds like renal colic. She had been to the hospital yesterday for the same. Our lowest analgesia took all her pain away.

13M - Down at the beach to watch some of the fireworks and got into a fight with a protagonist he had fought yesterday. He didn't duck quick enough and copped a few to the face. No real injury but we transported due to his age and the environment he was in.

21F - Anxiety attack at a party. Located her B/f and the short of it was she didn't need an ED. She needed to go home to safety but didn't feel safe outside of the ambulance so while my partner wrote up the PHCR I drove them home and she was my NY kiss.

25M - Claimed to have jumped off a high wall but his lack of injury shouted otherwise. Conservative treatment and he was just being a soft co@k.

45M - Everyone claimed the car had run over his torso but seeing he weighed at least a third of the weight of the 4 door sedan involved and it would have rolled if his bulk had passed under the wheel I don't know. Treatment was based on high mechanism and the job was bat called in but there were no injuries consistent with the story.

20M - Claimed a random assault little head lac and ?? a broken finger and he went straight to the waiting room to call his 'boys' to come and keep him company.

88F - Dysphasia and right deficit for an unknown time. Found at 0400 and last seen at 2100 the previous evening.

30F - Vomiting and rigors. No partying for the NYE and she was just sick. Recall the four 'B's of the gut, Burst, Blocked, Bleed or Bug. I'm going with the bug. I discuss home treatment with her and and I give some anti emetic discuss small frequent sips of water or flat lemonade and plain toast along with some simple analgesia/anti pyretic.

And after the shift a few of us went down to the local ED for some post NYE drinks.

See you at the big One.
