Ambulance Driver

Reflections of a Prehospital Care Paramedic

911 Update

without comments

Very quiet Sunday. The department handled a total of 56 runs in my 12 hour shift. Ambulance Driver was assigned 3, but 2 were cancelled prior to our arrival. So, to make a short  story even shorter:

1) An elderly gentleman fell in his apartment resulting in some vague pain in pelvis area. No obvious fracture.

Since it was obvious that today was going to be very slow, at 1030am I jotted down the runs my department was responding to at that moment:

1) A person who slipped and fell in a church parking lot.

2) A baby vomiting and coughing

3) Chest pain in a person with  a history of a heart attack

4) Child who had a seizure

5) An elderly patient who fell in the home

6) A pregnant woman with vaginal bleeding after trauma the night before.

That will do it. We will see if tomorrow is any busier.
