And I'm moving house, which is the other reason I haven't posted much.
Anyway. A theme day again. Heads. And stomachs to top and tail it
Crack of dawn and we were zooming across town to a woman with abdominal pain. She had had it since about three in the morning and had been vomiting and pooing for England.
Luckily one of our ECP's followed us up and he managed to sort her out at home
That free'd us up to go to our first head job which was an RTA
Daytime stop-start traffic. A woman with baby in the back of the car. Ambulance (Ironically) in front of her. Baby cried, she turned round, traffic in front of her stopped, She didn't.
Very slow speed impact, and minimal damage to either vehicle
Problem was, she wasn't wearing a seat belt. We get there and there is a lovely star shatter pattern on the windscreen and she has a thumping headache.
She didn't have any pain in her neck so it wasn't too bad. We took her and baby in. Baby proceeded to try and eat the inside of the ambulance but hadn't quite finished the suction equipment by the time we got to hospital
Then to a couple of CVAs (strokes). They were either end of the scale as far as strokes go. The first chap was completely unresponsive and the second one had a slight tingle in his hand.
Then to a chap that had had a bike accident a few weeks ago and had been having headaches since. He was probably ok but you never know.
Then to the second stomach pain of the day. This one was a bit different. She had had this pain for seven years on and off. And today had had it since three in the morning (again). She hadn't taken any pain relief, because she "couldnt be bothered". The doctor had been called but would be an hour or so. She decided she wanted a scan so called us.
We took her in and that was about that for the day
