Brief overview

I realize it's been a long time since I actually posted anything on here. Life happens. I don't think anybody reads this either, so it is more just something for me to do in my spare time (which I don't have much of lately).

Let's see, this will be a brief synopsis of all my jacked up calls since last time I posted.

Really nasty fatality wreck that will definitely be going to court. Yeah, that's not fun. No, I'm not posting more on it.

Then a really bad wreck thanks to a drunk driver. The driver and the passenger (both adults) were both drunk as shit and went the wrong way on a one-way street, smashing into another car. Once we really got to look at the vehicles (after all the patients had been transported) it was amazing that we had anybody survive at all. Apparently the driver that caused the wreck is still alive (this was about a month ago), even though he's paralyzed from the chest down, had massive internal injuries, had both legs amputated, and is essentially a vegetable now because of his multiple head injuries.

Then I had a patient that apparently walked out of the bathroom, told her family she had a horrible headache and went unconscious. When we got there, she was having a stroke. We treated her and flew her out to a stroke center. On follow up, they said that she had a such a massive bleed that there really isn't anything they can do about it at this point accept make her comfortable.

Well, that's about all I want to post for now.
