first call of the day is...

SOB and chest pain and you know, add some obesity on top of that since I only got 5 hours of sleep.
 
Lower leg pain. No fracture or other deformity confirmed by x-ray.
 
Standby...
and then Standby...
and then Standby....3 seperate times in the same location, 3 run reports...3 call numbers....winner winner
 
1 call in 24 hours....at the 15th hour...was a simple transfer.
 
...also the last call of the day. 8 hour (round trip) transfer.
 
It was a guy stung by a swarm of bees. Unconscious when the wife called 911. Neighbor had an epi pen and jammed him with it. Alert and talking when we got there. Bleeding from big hole in leg.
 
It was nothing. Pulled a weekend daytime no hitter during the summer at a resort-ish station.
 
Double cardiac arrest. Boyfriend and Girlfriend Heroine OD in a parking lot.
 
Mutual aid response into the neighboring city, ground level fall due to weakness. Unfortunately our patient was headed to the bathroom and couldn't hold it...it was number 2...and all over the poor guy by the time we arrived

Sounds like a trip. My record for a heroin OD flophouse remains 3. Every room we went into revealed a new respiratory/cardiac arrest.
 
Unresponsive ETOH in a parking lot yesterday. I missed all the fun today though.

Do you really run dialysis that often?

We only have a few dialysis patients, and unless you're :censored::censored::censored::censored:listed by dispatch, you won't get em.

Gotta love punitive dispatching.

From what I know we only have a handful of dialysis patients, I just happen to get them

That's no fun. Sounds like a similar situation to my company. I find dialysis centers can be a total emotional drain. Though as long as the ambulance necessity is truly there, they are easy calls where you are absolutely making a difference in someone's life.

Don't you budget for donuts for dispatch?

Every three months or so, take an appropriate amount in. Your life improves immensely.
