Woo Whoo!

I'm not going to apologise, I love to be busy.

45M - IP, released for gaol today with no apparent support plan or structure. Because he is drunk and has taken his prescribed meds without supervision the men's hostel he is at can't take him without a clearance letter from a Dr.

29F - Syncope in a crowded noisy restaurant. A medical professional who was on scene and witnessed it confirmed a syncope and not a seizure. All obs were good and the pt was in the company of her husband so we were happy for them to just go back to their hotel room and rest.

??M - Outside a KFC drunk and vomiting. UTL.

??F - She was supposed to be unconscious and drunk but she got up and walked away pretty well when she spotted us coming up the Harbourside Promenade.

5F - This mother has a mild form of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The child scraps a knee she will want to go to hospital, last night it was waking with a coughing fit and she must have a chest infection. As I've said before if the pt or guardian directly asks I have to take them to hospital. I don't believe that the child is in any danger and some officers may think that the mother is just over protective but I've been to this address several times.

20M - Dropped outside a Police Station be a taxi after the pt stopped responding. On the footpath he vomited and pissed his pants. Until we revive the drunk tank or sober up centres we have to take them to hospital.

24M - Facial injuries post Unknown. He was found by rail staff at a train station covered in blood. Right zygoma swelling, upper lip trauma from teeth, denies neck pain, was walking around on scene (nil motor/sensory deficit), intoxicated but not badly and AMNESIC to events and claims he must have tripped over drunk. Finally coaxed him onto the bed and a collar.
A check later found that the Police had come by to see him as they had clear CCTV of him being 'King Hit' by some random at a train station four stops away and dropping like a log face first.

Sometimes my posts may sound like I'm only to ready to not transport you but always remember I do gloss, cut short and insert an opinion that was not there on scene but I would never put my pts in harms way by not conducting a complete primary survey, if they stay around for one anyway.

??M - Drunk but with friends who were taking him home but some goody-to-shoes told them she was calling an ambulance. If she was that concerned why didn't she give them a hand.

22M - IP, found in an alley by nice people who after they couldn't wake him up much called us.
As we in the job know, we have special wake up skills. He got up for me!!!! His g/f was called and was happy to come and collect him. Another one escapes the ED.

22M - Facial injuries post assault. The nose wasn't broken but as the cops had the offender a Dr's letter about the injuries is another nail in the dickheads gaol time.

??M - Cut foot, had jumped in a taxi by the time we arrived.

And that was how I started Easter Sunday.

See you at the big One.
