So I thought I would be a good little student and do some extra clinical time yesterday. Went in at 8 am and was supposed to be off at 9 pm. Well yeah right is all I have to say-we ended up transferring a pt to a bigger hospital around 730 or so. We get back to town around 930 and go in service and it was like BAM-attack on EMS.
Three units available in our town-one was out on an mvc the other on an mvc rollover and we get another mvc-ours was pretty bad-one vehicle vs. embankment vs. rock creekbed wall-
:blink: deformed right and left wrists-crepitation in the pelvis-open right femur fracture-and paradoxical motion in the chest-DAAAANG-worst I have ever seen- Needless to say We flew that patient to a bigger hospital and are in service and en route back to the station when *beep*Beep*beep* off goes the tones and we get a guy with a headache and chest pain and he refuses-same deal with the last call-in service and en route back to the station and dang if the tones don't drop again-needless to say I didn't get done until about four am-we're not supposed to stay past ten unless we are caught out on a truck running a call-we ended up getting one more mvc, one headache-same patient from previous headache/chest pain (we take him this time), and a drunk person who got in a fight and had a two inch laceration on his forehead and was alert and oriented times 2-he ended up coming around after being somewhat combative and asking me and the female medic I was riding with to marry him-LOL-I had to laugh at that one-anyway busy "shift" for me.
Have a good week all
