This was a good week. The house has finnally returned to normal, or at least as close to normal as we allow it. This past week at work was equally as good. The 16th saw us taking three out of town transfers. Fortunaelty none were real serious. They simply involved taking the patient to a higher care hospital and came between 1:00 in the afternoon and 6:11 that evening. We were back in the station by 10:00 p.m. and slept thru the night. Yea!
On the 19th we ran two medical emergencies and one car wreck. The first medical emergency came in at 12:34 p.m. and involved an elderly lady that had fallen. No specific injuries but she couldn't remember falling. As we arrived at the ER with her we were notified of a pending call in our town. A quick turn around and we were off for a 67 year old male that was having breathing difficulty. A breathing treatment helped him and as we arrived in the ER he was feeling better and said he was ready to go back home.
The car wreck came in just before 7 the following morning. A young lady had apparently fainted while driving and rolled her small car at least three times. You could not believe the damage the car sustained. I honestly thought we would be dealing with a very serious patient and put the helicopter on standby. As it turned out, she had crawled out of the car on her own and was sitting in a patrolman's squad car. She was treated and released from the hospital with a minor shoulder injury and one heck of a seatbelt rash! God was her co-pilot that day, and it didn't hurt that she had her seatbelt on!
The 22nd came and went without a call. My partner and I enjoyed the football championship games and some really good buffalo wings!
Until next week; buckle up - slow down - and be safe!
