In Aruba there is a significant difference between week calls and weekend calls.

Aruba's most frequent calls during the week:

- "Sick person" (which can be anything)

- Syncope with unknown cause

- Diabetic emergency

Weekends:

- MVA's

- Violence/falls/all types of alcohol-related injuries

[/font:5a8ec6753e] Goes in spells here in south Georgia, you get your runs of Seizures, or as we usually hear it Skeezurs, then they will switch out to Lifting Assistance at 3 am, full moon you have Domestics, Cuttings, Shootings, etc. With the lovely roadways we have in our county, we have a good number of wrecks, especially when the ETOH begins to flow on a Saddidy nite.

The we all know Codes come in threes, so we'll see a spell of those as well.

Then there are the ones that make you want to cry or cuss. Toothache at 4 am, Constipation, Rectal Pain, we've all been there.

We have one dear lady who calls fairly regular thinking she has an earring stuck in her ear canal, but fortunantly of late, her family has taken over care of her and we haven't had to look for the non existent earring.

Then there is Sammy, but that is another story all together.

Car accidents, elderly and the occasional farm accidents.

Respiratory, We run at least one a day on that alone, We have a prision also so we run a lot of stabbings and beat downs out there. and 4 highways, were rural but run our rear ends off, so it stays fun and interesting.

LOL daniel! Welcome to the party!

Where ya been, Bro? Long time, no see.

[Just Plain Ruff]

strokes, MI's and the occasional wreck

numerous scene flights based on our rural status of hospital. Ortho, MI, CVA and MVA most get flown. It also helps that we have a bird on a pad here at our hospital

[spenac]

Mostly calls that sound good when dispatched to only turn out to be people that really do not need an ambulance.

Where I was, was a toss up between chest pain calls and MVCs. We sat next to a major highway in an area where the average age of the population was 96 years old.

Here in Oklahoma we run quite a bit of diabetic calls, primarily hypoglycemia. This is probably because of the large native american population here. We also run quite a bit of the run of the mill respiratory/chest pain and mva's. Lot's of CHF'ers here it seems like.
