DOA. Last seen alive the night before. Wife called 911 at 1300 when she got home. Rigor and lividity. We were just driving past the address when the 911 call came in.

How is it working with the flight medic today?
Started off my day with a generalized seizure. Stopped seizing as soon as I drew up the meds to give IN as fire was attempting to get an IV in an actively seizing patient without much luck (not surprising)

First call of the day: cardiac arrest with esophageal varices. Witnessed arrest, asystole throughout and blue from the nipple line up. Fire had dropped a king tube and with every breath they sent a thick mist of blood spraying over their turnouts. Needless to say, that king tubes life was as short lived as the patient's.

Hope you didn't walk away thinking "damn that sucked, glad it wasn't me" cause apparently that mindset makes you cold and indifferent to some people.

Patient took ~30 puffs of his albuterol inhaler in a couple hours since he "couldn't breathe."
Clear lung sounds, RA SpO2 99%, non obstructed and hypocarbic EtCO2 waveform with a RR of ~30. Tachycardic at 130, detoxing from alcohol, and hasn't slept for 3 days. Poor guy spent most of the transport asking me for Advair. Whew.

Monday, had a brand new partner on his first shift post being cleared off 3rd rider training. First call of the day was a 3 car traffic collision, patient in the middle car (got rear ended and pushed into the car in front), co neck and tailbone pain, so the medics pulled the guy out of the drivers seat, stood him up and *shudders* had us do a standing takedown onto a backboard. Non emergent BLS to the hospital.
Our next call was a full arrest, arrived on scene to find PD doing compressions, but while my partner pulled out the defibrillator pads and I got the BVM, the medics did a check for, and found, rigidity and lividity, last seen by family the night before so they called it. The kicker is we 're-responded to the address a few hours later for the wife who suffered a pretty bad anxiety attack (understandable IMO) but we were able to calm her down enough to prevent an ambulance ride.
All in all we had 3 transports out of 11 calls in a 24 hrs period (shift before had 2 calls all day)
