One busy shift puts me behind posting.

Our second day we're run from pillar to post and finish late and I just can't get the energy to sit here and post. So that's why there hasn't been any!

82M - The soft edge of the mattress does 'em in every time when the oldies sit on it. Public assistance, lift off the floor, nil injuries, stay at home ol' mate.

??F - Assist another car with an obese pt, in fact two extra crews attended, had a fall two days ago and has only been able to roll around on the floor. Doesn't have a phone and lives in housing commission tower block.

21M - Anaphylaxis to peanuts, no known allergy previous. From a local LMO surgery, no airway involvement but with the strength of this reaction it will come if he's not careful.
We had a good ol' chat about driving as he's attended (by direction of the Court)one of the lectures I give and I tell them at the end if you get sick or attend a hospital in the city you will find me there and I won't remember your name. But they do mine.

99F - The bed edge again. A brilliant lady and loving family and again with no injury she can stay at home.

27M - Non traumatic back pain at work in an office.

37M - Transport from a hospital Detox unit to the ED for seizures.

75M - Fall, our motor cycle paramedic called for a unit to attend just so he could assess the pt out of the eyes of the public. In the end the pt refused too much fuss and left.

21F - In the cells awaiting bail for late reporting to a police station whilst on bail already by a day. Decides that the PID she thinks she has had for three years might get her out quicker.
It didn't and the hospital we went to was in the opposite direction she wanted to go and she left ten minutes after arrival.

87M - Hip pain, non traumatic.


See you at the big One.
