18 October 2009

And then there was Twisted Tuesday

The hospitals hadn't caught up.

The work for the day went like this.

Taxi Driver allegedly assaulted - Found the Police who were also looking for the job. The driver had left the scene to chase the offender.

84M - Fallen, cause unknown but suspecting TIA.

84F - Unseen diagnosis over the phone by LMO of Pneumonia.

85M - Lac over Tibia after falling as the bus slowed.

8M - Colles fracture, a very brave lad.

80F - Post Op DVT transferred to Sydney via air ambulance.

28M - Post ictal. A backpacker who basically was fatigued, in need of a good feed and a day or two rest. After following my CARe protocol we dropped him off at the hostel he was staying at.

85M - Another Post Op haemorrhage. Basal Cell Carcinoma had been removed six or so hours earlier and just one end of the wound was bleeding.

71M - Hospital to Hospital transfer.

Then it was time to go home and sleep


Be careful out there and I'll see you at the Big One.
