We had a call, to an IHOP....
Anyway we are dispatched to the scene of a 24yo caucasian female who has collapsed at the scene and thought to be pregnant... Like Princess' call there wasa foul smell from her....well you know...
we question her sister and Im talking to her bf who speaks no english, he doesnt know what happened said she had "dizzy spells" and "fainting" when we run the baseline vitals we notice shes feveri8sh it was up to like 103 degrees, her pulse was in a sense thready and her BP had dropped to nearly bottoming out....
we do a rapid assesment colect info...the patient is already on PCN and a few other "STD" treatments including a cream... no allergies
we get her to the local Hospital (despite better judgement to take her to the better one) which means we had to drive through the WORSE..well it made harlem look easy need I say more?
Diagnosis??
She had TSS (for ya men thats toxic shock syndrome) Im sure your wondering what the smell was I KID YOU NOT this woman had a GREEN tampon up her vaginal area....had it up there for who knows how long, was screwing her bf and the entire IHOP staff.... and didnt understand why she smelled when she "Bathed"
a Green tampon...trifling...TRIFLING....I showered when I got home until all the hot water was gone...I swear the bacteria and skank was eating through my gloves...
All the paramedics could do (mind you my first ride along first call) was say "your going to see worse and smell worse"...honestly I dont think theres any such thing... Then proceeded to ask if this was what I "REALLY" wanted to do *gags* take three week old rotten fish entrails mi it with rotten chicken livers, then toss it in the sun need I say more?? Im surprised I didnt vomit.....
