911 Update
Sorry, but Ambulance Driver is a couple of days behind in the Update. On March 9th our Department had 98 calls in my 12 hour shift. Busy day, but we only handled 6 of them.
- Call #1 was for a elderly lady in a nursing home that was mildly hypotensive, weak and thought to be suffering from dehydration.
- Call #2 was for a young man with a chronic disease who had stopped taking his meds and hadn’t seen a doctor for while. Ended up at a clinic wondering why he felt so bad.
- Call #3 was for a middle age man who broke his ankle running down the basement stairs. He really like the morphine.
- Call #4 was for a nursing home patient with a sudden allergic reaction that threatened to close the airway. Epinephrine and Benadryl came in very handy.
- Call # 5 involved an elderly lady with non-traumatic hip pain. Previous hip replacement
- Call #6 was for a jaywalker who got run over by a car that was exiting a parking lot. The tires ran over the paitent’s legs, at least one of which was fractured. No other injury.
