first call of the day is...

Right leg pain plus ETOH...medics decided to ride in with us because the guy was cursing us out and generally not being cooperative....they didn't want my partner alone in the back if he decided to get violent. Fortunately with more than one provider in the back, he calmed down enough that they didn't need to break out any restraints or anything, heck by the time we transfered care at the hospital he was in "I love everyone" phase lol
 
Unable to move left leg. Labs and x-ray mostly normal, still working her up. Interesting in that she has had recent... cosmetic procedures done in that region.
 
Infant full arrest, asystole throughout. Didn't need any coffee after that.
 
First "call" of the day where I work was a complaint of "cough." It only heralded the theme of the day... my patients were all pretty much respiratory. They were either cough or COPD exacerbation.
 
Lady had a pain pump placed Friday. Vomiting today.

Another life saved.
 
ETOH pulled over on the side of the freeway. Refused medical treatment. Arrested by highway patrol.
 
A diabetic that I previously have run who was so DKA he did not even remember going to the hospital. This time he was doing better but rather weak. He was worse off I butchered a variety of IVs, some days I guess you can't win.

Lol fantastic.
 
Getting fuel at the only gas station in town and the coca cola delivery guy comes running over.

"Uhhhhh you guys are the ambulance right? Cause uh well if you're not busy or anything a guy just ran into the bathroom and there's blood everywhere."

"Where is he bleeding from?"

"Well uh ummm back there."
*gestures emphatically to his hindquarters.*

"Show Med 12 out with a GI bleed, will advise if we need fire."

As it turned out the gas station looked like a horror movie. And not just the bathroom. They had to close for a good part of the day.
 
This is how my day starts.

Gross.
 
19 year old ETOH combative/yelling/screaming who walked into a tree face first at a rave. The event medical staff called us to to transport because she is altered (no surprise). In the back after restraining her she starts to hyperventilate. I asked her what she is doing and she said "I'm gonna make myself pass out". She didn't like my response of "that's fine"
 
9 year old playing around at church. 3cm lac to the forehead. Bled like a stuck pig.
BLS.

Now, nap time.

Here's the most important question... how much strength did it take you to keep from laughing you bum off?
 
Disp to the unresponsive in a car, possible overdose.

Pt was unresponsive, no overdose, with a blood glucose of 14. Lowest number I've seen. Im assuming 10 and under would read "Lo" on the glucometer?
