Well once again I have managaed to bring one of the busiest medic units on the street to a screeching halt. Had one call all day and it wasnt even until 2am that we got the call. Ran a bunch of errands and got a decent poker game going with some of the other crews. Got called out for a possible allergic reaction but ended up being the flu. Woman was tach-ing away at 160, vomiting like no tomorrow... she had woken up with chills and uncontrollable shaking.. husband put her in a hot bath... I dont like treating wet patients who you cant tell if they're warm because they're feverish or because they just got out of a hot bath. After we got her into the ER, she was the 20th patient that night who came on with sudden flu-like symptoms.
Am working at the firehouse today and we've been pretty quiet here too... just a few of the standard.. WalMart sheered off a couple of sprinkler heads this afternoon.. a couple of MVA's... nothing noteworthy.
Doing another 24 tomorrow...
