Turns out to be ate spicy food even though the doctor said not to.

Maybe if they ate at your place.., spicy food poisoning.

Got to be falls, CP and SOB, often ETOH features somewere inthe picture.

[medic53226]

Trauma and OD's is the most common calls in my area, and meth abuse.

On my new shift, I think "Sick" is most common followed by maybe SOB & CP.

Yesterday was all MVA's and SOB's......it was cold and foggy. Makes perfect sense.

[/font:c8698d4e87] What we have in our community is an age gap. Either they are over 50 or under 20. Lots of SOB, chest pain, falls, traumas, etc. You name it we have it.

The majority of calls here are elderly falls or the drunks that get beat up.

Here's what my last 3 weeks have been like:

1 week of low BP. No matter what the patient started out with, they either had low BP at the beginning of the run, or developed it part way through.

1 week of falls/broken bones. This I'm not too surprised about, considering the number of nursing homes we go to.

1 week of "They were in cardiac arrest yesterday/today/an hour ago, and we want them transferred home/another hospital."

I know runs seem to come in groups, and I'm not looking forward to the next one. We've been doing a lot of OB runs lately, and I do NOT want to deliver in the back of the ambulance.

I wish you a speedy, quick, healthy, and very messy delivery very soon. :twisted:

[katgrl2003]

Don't you dare, spenac! I work with a medic, and in his words, "Delivery is a BLS skill." That's fine, because its a short haul to a any hospital in town, and we would more than likely be at a hospital before the patient delivered. However, since we're a private service, we get the high risk pregnancies going from outlying hospitals to high risk wards. I do NOT want to deliver a 27 weeker! (Had that two days ago)

Spen, if you just jinxed me, I will come haunt you. :twisted:
