What a diverse day!

69M - Leukemia pt. Abdo pain, lethargy.

84M - Assist to feet, uninjured and safe to leave at home. Basic obs, some paperwork and off we went.

67F - At work something fell across her shins, Took a bit of skin off and some bruising. Work rang because in their words we thought it might have been broken (her leg if you didn't follow). She been and walking on them since the accident happened? We cleaned, advised and left.

49M - Low speed hit from behind in car, c/o lateral neck pain.
63F - Who hit him from behind, totally by accident. She was sitting that close to the wheel that the seat belt didn't stop her from nose butting the steering wheel.
We were six blocks from a hospital so we took both.

92F - Cardiac arrest, my partners first. We are the sole response on scene for 20 minutes due to the lack of available cars because of the workload in this area over the morning. I got my first of our trial iGEL LMA's in and it remained the airway adjunct through to the hospital and when they called it after running one more round of drugs. We got an output after the backup arrived, cannulated and dropped some adrenaline but the drugs were doing most of the work and output was lost and regained during transport.

29M -Man cold, what a let down from the intensity of our last job.

79M - Chest pain. The 12 lead I did looked like this.

Now I don't yet have the technology to transmit this to the hospital it might reach me in another year (When you part of one of the two largest ambulance services in the world, us and the London ambulance service change takes awhile) so I load an' go with a bat call to let them know what I have. They still did their own 12 lead and then took him straight to the Cath Lab.

An unknown problem call from the pay phone in the hospitals waiting room was next. UTL

88F - who's epistaxis would not stop. Waited an hour to call us!.


See you at the big One.
