ambulance report
1st call: ard 22-2300hrs.
old man had fits, fell down and hit his head. 3-4cm semi-circular laceration on head. blood dripping. blood stains ard kitchen floor. he looked slightly in shock, or calm, dunno. coping quite well. rather passive though. apparently he just went hospital for stubbing his toe or sth. poor thing. (at least got blood, at least got something to bandage)
2nd call: hour or two later.
indian male, middle aged. fell previous day, hit head. now c/o head pain, abdo pain, and another dunnowhere pain. bump on the head. nauseous. was in a really tiny 1-room flat or something, with two other indian women, so stuffy. hm, see all these poor little houses. sigh.
3rd call: on way back from TTSH aft 2nd call. radio came in on the road.
Dunearn Road. Case of Head Pain!
went there saw two police cars outside the terrace house???. woman had an argument with husband, fighting, assault. being the weakling she got injured. filipino woman with a expatriate looking husband. she was rather concerned abt her husband getting into trouble with the police and being concerned for her children. .. interesting. nothing to do.
4th call: ard 0300hrs.
Toa Payoh. attempted suicide, ingested Dettol.
at least it sounds more interesting. tho we were still waiting for an RTA or fall-frm-height to happen. young woman. looked very pale, weak, too weak to talk i think. typed out answers on her hp. was carrying 2 hps with her. very passive too.
A&E is so quiet at night. not much walk-in cases i guess. they were doing cleaning up. even the Resus room looked like it was closed down, lights all off. realised that public trusts medical pple alot. it's like a different kind of attitude compared to if they were communicating with another professional. it's quite fun doing this job. and it's so fun to be walking in and out of A&E uninhibited. can go into all the rooms, peer at everything. too bad most pple can't come and see what happens. not that it's easy to understand sometimes. actually most of the cases so far not a lot of treatment is done. partly coz there isn't much impt treatment, and we're so close to hospital. din even give oxygen to the head injury patients.
ambulance and A&E is fun.
