Seizures

Busy doesnt even begin to describe yesterday. Started off the morning with a call into ATL's immediate for a person down. It was at their firehouse. A woman on her way to church with a history of CHF was having chest pain and DIB. Hadnt taken her lasix in a couple of days cause she didnt want to be going to the bathroom during her busy social weekend. Gave her some lasix and her 12-lead looked unremarkable. She was getting more anxious than anything by the time we got to the ER.
Considering how freakin hot and humid it was all day I'm surprised we didnt have any heat related calls. Had a few calls for seizure pts.

One kid we got called on had had a witnessed seizure a couple of hours before and was having another and not coming around. 19yr M who is on Dilantin, as far as everyone knew on scene he had taken his meds. Someone gave us a cell phone with his parents in the phone. Dad didnt want us to transport and said he would come and get him and take him in on his own... that he always has these. We loaded him anyway.. I wansnt letting him go like that. We're pulling out of the apt complex and dad pulls in front of the ambulance to block our path. Asked the cop behind us to take care of it so we could get going. He was in between unresponsive to postictal, and very combative. Gave him some narcan to cover the bases. He was still in pretty much the same state as when we picked him up but a few minutes in the ED and he was finally able to tell us some info.

Got a call for someone with back pain after an accident. The call that we had last shift with the four people from Africa? It was them. All four. All four wanted to go back to the hospital becaue they hurt. They were lucky they werent killed, of course they're gonna hurt. But... they had the same complaints as the other night so we collared and boarded them and sent them off with a basic unit. The paperwork alone sucked. Wait, what am I talking about... we dont use paper, we use those silly tablet notebooks. Ugh! Tap, tap, tap... an 80% accurate handwriting recognition... I would kill for paper on runs like these.

Got back to the station and started dinner... fixed a fairly good dinner for the crew and got toned out 10 min before it was ready. We didnt get back til 0230. Running all over the county and covering other territories... I was a tired puppy. Back up at 0500 for a a couple of calls. Nothing worth writing about. Tomorrow is another day.
