Oh, there you are!

24 March 2011

The roster is nearly over.

Which really has nothing to do with the post, it just is.
Today is the second last day of the roster and tomorrow is the last and then I get a new partner.
But back to today,

76M - Has just completed today a three week ocean cruise and has slowly developed a very nasty chest infection.

13F - Cut her finger in art class, had a vaso vagal response and fainted and we got called even though the school had it's own RN (registered nurse) on duty. To dot the I's and cross the T's we transported.

34M - Industrial accident, turned out to be just a minor incident in the end. While cleaning a roller press his hand got caught and drawn into it. There is a 16mm gap between the two large rubber rollers and while nothing was broken and there was no motor/sensory deficit it's going to hurt like hell for the next week easy. Transport for workcover clearance.

74F - Simple mechanical fall and fell on her arse. She really just wanted someone to tell her it was OK to stay at home and self manage with rest and simple analgesia. After I had assessed her I agreed with her.

75F - Found very disorientated at a train station. We recognised a hypo straight away and commenced treatment but due to the fact she was alone we had to transport for pts safety.

29M - Felt odd and called an ambulance.
That's all I'm going to say about this job.
This is all it deserves.

Did I mention it's the last day of my roster tomorrow and I get a new partner after that?

See you at the big One.
