One of the hardest days at the office I've every had.
62M - Foot pain, arch of foot last night while playing tennis.
22M- Post ictal, by himself in a public place so leaving him was not an option.
??M - A member of the public reported a drug effected person but we couldn't find him, UTL.
5M - Near faint, had a temp last night and enjoying his sisters birthday today, all a little too much for maybe. Staying at home but taking it easy.
61M - Chest wall pain from seat belt trauma.
??M - A supposed cardiac arrest that turned out to be an intoxicated person.
38M - Renal Colic.
79F - Mild abdo pain.
What do you say to a Husband while the other crews his Wife is being treated for a traumatic arrest?
There is no textbook chapter on this, it was the most emotionally draining and distressing cases I have ever had in my career.
But that's part of our job and with the support of my crew mate, peers and my wife I worked my way through.
Be Excellent to Each Other and See You at the Big One!

Im sorry, those types of calls are the ones that leave their mark on our memories. I hope you can process that stress, file it where it needs to be and continue on.
It's what we do and how we roll.
