Oh, there you are!

A Flat out night shift.

55M - Known IP who lives in a park I cycle through to and from work. Seen to have a fall/stumble and it was called in. Real practised drunks bounce just like babies. He was uninjured and didn't want me interrupting his drinking time.

18F - IP fallen, minor lac to zygoma, swelling and epistaxis. Hospital glue should do the lac just fine and leave no scar.

45M - In the police cells. Giving false information to the police and he didn't give me the right details either. Thoracic muscular pain after it took three big cops to get him into the cell. Left in their care.

37M - Night manager of a backpackers who tried to step between two guys having a dust up. 25mm or an inch laceration to his zygoma but it was going to need stitches.

Three cars called to three different chief complaints at the one location for the same pt. We assisted the first car.

60M - Came to the notice of the police for what was just some bad luck and nothing illegal. They wanted a psychiatric schedule and he wasn't nuts just a different individual but I took him just to get him off the streets. I told him just this and that he could get a feed, hot drink, a bath and some fresh cloths at the hospital. He liked the sound of that.

18F x 2 - Assault of a sexual nature. Look I'll get hammered by the female and politically correct people, but wearing dresses that didn't cover their arse these two got goosed (fingered on the bum or genitalia usually from behind) on the dance floor of a place known as a meat market.

Yes everyone should have the right to go out and be safe, wouldn't that be a wonderful world but in reality you can cause a lot of your own harm from dress, behaviour and venue choice. You are responsible for you safety by your actions and bad shit will happen if your not careful. It's the way of the world.

Assist another car at a scene that had three brawl pts but only one needed transport.

20F - IP, blood alcohol reading of 0.23% transport for safety.

24M - States he banged his head on a door, not deep but long lac that will need some glue.

30M - Out from his group home for a night in the bright lights and action. Had a few drinks and then a vomit and is complaining to rail staff at the train station about his throat feeling burnt. Suggestions of a cup of coffee or such to wash the acid away fell on deaf ears he wanted to go to hospital.

27M - partial de-glove of medial left ankle post falling onto a terracotta pot while attempting to climb up to his apartment balcony after a night on the grog and forgetting his keys.

See you at the big One.

Do you do 8 or 12 hour shifts?
