  1. [/font:cde3d6db07] Ya'll have some great stories! I work for a company that does emergency and non emergent runs. Well we rec'd call to 80ish female fallin uncon. Arrive on seen and a kid about ten or so is holding the door yelling for us to hurry up ( he was obviously deaf you could tell by the way he spoke) Inside we find in a tiny lil bathroom a woman who appears to have been sitting on the toilet and passed out alling foward. Her son heard the fall, but couldnt get in because she was up against he door. He continued to attempt to gain access and finally got in. Im thinking, ok vasovagal syncope... maybe... well she is totally out of it large hematoma the temporal area of the skull. Respirations are about 8. pulse was rapid. long story short was we managed to get her out of the bathroom secured to a back board and too the hosp. she was awake but her gcs was about 9. About two weeks after that while grocery shopping, this man approachs me and tells me that he would like to thank me. I was very confused as I didnt recognize him. He began to tell me what her post recovery had been and i finally remembered who he was. remarkably this woman had suffered a 5 cm bleed, had a drain put i and had made a almost full recovery. It is times like that, that make me remember how much I love my job.
