      do you get many first aid calls at work? I do anywhere from 1 to 4 first aid calls in a 4 day period. Most of the time it is for minor wounds or pains. Once and while I will get trauma or medical call underground or on surface that requires transport to town.

      we generally will see 3-4 people a week for actual injuries or illness. mostly we have people coming in for tylenol for headaches and stuff. We have a bunch of different OTC meds we can dispense as well as our usual stuff as medics

      no worries lone star. I did not explain it very well on the original post. Yes you would think it would have been flat as a pancake, but NO he is very lucky, turned out he suffered a small chip on a bone and now some very severe swelling. Lucky SOB!!

      I should make something clear. I work in Port alberni which is 3 hours to Victoria and from Nanaimo it is about 2 hours. so in total I did a 14 hour day do to having to drive to Victoria twice in one day. then once my shift was over drive three hours to my other job. Good thing I like to drive!!
