Oh, there you are!

Welcome to Cathy.

A new follower of this humble blog.

70M - Long COPD Hx and with the cold weather it's getting worse and it's doing it at night when there is no local Dr.

22M - Collapsing??? Get there and it turns out to be a Police Officer from my local area with what appears to be some delayed reactions to concussion post playing a social game of a football game called rugby. For you readers in the States it's like Gridiron but faster and without pads or helmets.

69F - Walking the dog, misplaced step and over she falls and breaks her femur. My first diagnosed in the field # femur in over eight years on the job. My first CT-6 traction split, they're new issue over the older Hare or Donway. Anyway did its job I saw the xrays and it worked well even applied in a dark park.

30F - Found by a good Samaritan before any bad luck befell her, we contacted her B/f who came and collected her.

29F - Accidental ingestion on Dettol (antiseptic). I contacted Poisons Information as I had never come across this before and they advised that as long as there were no airway problems the 20mls she drank wouldn't do any harm apart from some discomfort from burning the gullet and drinking milk and simple analgesia at home were fine. So we did.

??F - Sitting on a railway bridge threatening to jump. Standby until she's talked down a the Police took her into custody over an assault charge and we left.

91M - Going home after some back surgery.

See you at the big One.

Thanks for the welcome mate. Cheers. Accidental ingestion of dettol? Really? I can smell if for at least 200 metres. Have a good weekend.
