Slip with a dinner fork#


All of yours make my first call seem so dull.

[Scout]

Its a fracture of the wrist (Colles' fracture) looks like a dinnerfork

oh... didnt catch the # lmao.. just learned about that a couple weeks ago.. actually.. I thought u meant slipped with a dinner fork. yep now I feel dumb. thanks for the info though

 

[Scout]

Only feel dumb when you dont ask.

I actually think the presence of an actual dinner fork during a slip could be interesting, though I'm pretty sure it would somehow lodged in the patient's rectum. People are always falling on crazy stuff like that and having it end up in there... ^_^

1st call with ride time was a young semi-responsive LD child. Transporting to the hospital, without warning pt starts to vomit the most noxious smelling chunky cottage cheese type food... worst part was it was rush hour and no one was going anywhere. I learned how to turn on an exhaust fan in less than 30 seconds.

I don't remember much about my first call other then it was sent out as a priority 1 MVC, but turned out to be a fender bender.


The first REAL call was a priority 2 sick person. Arrive to find a 52 yo m laying in bed. Do a d-stick to find BG >500, pulse >120 and bp ~250/120. Skipped dialysis for over 2 weeks.
