Most common calls/jobs in your City/Area

[medicman90]

Oh and we run at ton of "cardiac arrest" calls. You know when a person gets arrested, and immediately has a sudden onset of crushing substernal chest pain radiating through their left arm and jaw, with nausea and SOB.


We get alot of those.

Those are always fun.

That literally made me throw up reading that lol

 

[Voodoo1]

. One lady "forgot" she was done with her period and had left 12 tampons rotting inside her.

How on earth would she have managed to keep inserting them without feeling ALOT of discomfort? Then to 'forget' them? At least you would have burned off a ton of karma on that call.

This is way too funny

You folks make me laugh. Which I think everyone needs to laugh. One of the people I work with in the ED got a "brown cow" shower the other day. I had to leave the room cuz I couldn't stop laughing. For those of you that don't know what a "brown cow" is...it is a mixure of molasses and cream/milk (warmed) and given as a laxative (up the you know what). She got the "after" it was inserted, the person couldn't make it to the commode. LMAO, OMG was that funny. B)

Chest pain, respiratory distress, Altered mental status, (with and without falls) etc. etc.

I can't speak to anything statistically, but I feel like we get a TON of seizures. Anyone else? It seems like we get seizures as often as we get SOB, abd pain, etc. If not more often.

Yeah, same here. And often, they're not actually seizures. They're often either someone having the DTs or just pretending to have seizures so they can go to the hospital

Seizures, febrile convulsions, pseudo-seizures, fake seizures (lol) and post-ictal states are common.

Just remember, the hospital is right next to walmart and its welfare wednesday. Get you free cabulance ride to the hospital, sign out AMA or just walk out like most, head over to walmart and take a real taxi home saving the cost of one trip.

1. Chest Pains
2. Diff Breathing (Those that know Buffalo Fire Dispatch, Diff Breading)
3. Diabetics
4. Shootings/Stabbings/Assaults
5. Seizures/Synco
6. Tooth Pain
7. My heads be hurtens me, take me to MCMC (Spelled wrong regional Trauma Center)
8. Abdominal Pain aka Medication refill taxi ride.
9. I don't knows whats be wrong but i noes feel good, give me drugs.
10. Last and very very least, somekind of legitimate call for someone with an actual problem other than being shot, stabbed or hit by a metro bus or train.

Alcohol related incidents.

It is, after all, a college campus

 

[spike91]

our campus gets a lot of general illness, orthos, and ETOH. Not many ETOH in relation to everything else, though.
