first call of the day is...

First call of the shift was a 2 yr old whose older brother fell out of the top bunk bed landing on top of him.

First call of the calendar day (first call after midnight) was a gnarly auto vs ped, load and go, partial leg amputation with tourniquet and assisting ventilations with a BVM. (Of course immediately followed by a very BLS migraine headache, but went back to the same hospital so we learned the ped was still in surgery and they completed the amputation..)
 
Allergic reaction. Not too bad
 
Skull fracture after being punched in the face 2 days ago who was also drunk
 
Start at 0600 out of Redlands,CA for a 12 hour BLS shift. After checking out our unit, we were dispatched to go into the bariatric unit for a pt in Big Bear. Arrived on scene for a 533 pound women at 0835. Took her to Kaiser Fontana for an appointment at 1100. Got there at 1040. After Kaiser mixed up all the paperwork and times, she had another appointment at 1330 but wasn't seen until 1455. Didn't leave Kaiser Fontana until 1645. Got her to destination at 1815. Big Bear Fire Department was kind and generous enough to feed us, as they knew we hadn't ate all day. Didn't clock out until 2040. All for our first call.

Btw, going up the mountain in the mid is excruciating. Had to take some Zofran both trips up the mountain

Cancelled dialysis call
 
51yo F, MVC, restrained, CC neck + back pain. C-collar, backboard to the hospital we go!
 
Right hypochondriac pain that occasionally radiates to the back... 341 for the county.
 
Two year old with Dravet Syndrome, probably the fifth time I've run him. This time the parents got the seizure stopped before us with cannabinoids and a little Versed, in the past we've used all manner (and lots) of benzos without any luck.
 
^Thats a rough first call

Seizure, postictal on arrival, didn't want to go, but too out of it to refuse and family wanted him to go, so we transported, progressively coming around, still not happy about having gone, but he was definitely way too out of it to be competently refusing at first.
 
A rash for the past 4 days. Said it wasn't uncomfortable, but she didn't like the way it looks and wanted the doctor to make it go away.
 
Pt did not take his DM meds for four days. Glucometer greeted me.

Blade in my Leatherman **may** have gotten buried into my forearm while (poorly) attempting to cut through a plastic bucket. [emoji276]

I mean... Ninjas. I was fighting ninjas.
