Oh, there you are!

10 March 2011

Take two and call your Dr in the morning.

That was the only drug I gave out tonight.

62M - Transfer from medical centre to hospital. It's a 90 second drive if the three sets of traffic lights are green so I didn't have time to do anything and the Dr had initiated treatment for the rapid AF.

56M - Near syncope, he had stacked his pushbike earlier in the day and fracture his clavicle. Discharge from hospital where he had self presented, with a referral to the fracture clinic in a few days. At home he had tried to put on some different cloths and the movement caused pain that caused him to nearly faint and the family panicked. Left them some pacacetamol and ibuprofen.

54F - Basically a panic attack. While we're there we discuss meds and find she's not been compliant and it appears to be from a lack of instruction and understanding of what the meds are for, so now we educate her and then when we're happy leave her to go and see her LMO tomorrow for more help.

40F - Fell on her back during a drunken slow motion tussle with another street dweller over a blanket. There was no deformity or break in the skin but she wanted a sling to show everyone else that 'see I'm injured' and we left her because she didn't want to got to hospital.

68M - Walking up the stairs from the toilet without the light on and took a miss step and a tumble. Just a few minor skin tears that I dressed and left instructions for care and left at home.

32F - 13 weeks gestation and it appears to be a miscarriage.

24F - Sexual assault or that's what the job came down as. It turns out she had just lost her wallet and wanted the police for that?????

32M - Anxiety/chest pain. Nice dude so I took him for a checkup but none of us thought it could have really been cardiac related.



See you at the big One.
