:: ambulance run - hell of an exciting day! PART III ::third case: hypoglycaemia... doc was great, had set the drip and got dextrose running and the old man was alert and actually rather TALKATIVE in the alpha by then... that was when we almost had a concurrent mass casualty case - eh hem... total of 5 casualties - driver, H, sam, sami, patient and i... cuz... the brakes... MALFUNCTIONED... we couldn't break while turning the corner from the AYE to NUH... i think that was when the air horn was turned on... (lolz, i guess it'll be safer for other cars to get out of our way while we careened along...) boy... it was adrenaline-pumped...
back at the station, run was temporarily called off... soon they got a replacement alpha... and then i helped to move all the 'barang-barang' over... unearthed cool equipment, including a maternity set, which triggered off sam (he's very very talkative) and decided to give us the gory details about the baby he helped deliver... then we unearthed some vests and they looked really cool... hehe... then this really stylo-mylo guy on a motorbike came pass... he's the 4**FR... means the fast response pple.. .they'll be called when there's a case that's so serious it requires help asap... turned out that stylo guy is sr pm's husband... ooo... sam was trying to dig out the love story when the funny out-of-tune siren went off again!!!
fourth case was pretty stupid... or rather the kid was really irritating... secretly, we were glad when the walkie-talkie fell on his head! ha! he was making so much noise and screaming as if the blood pressure cuff could kill him or sth. duh.
at the children's ed, i met a cross-eyes doc... it was really uncomfortable to look at him...
heh i got off run early! hehe nice paramedic shooed me off... i guess she didn't want risking another ankle injury, and having to send me to ED! lolz...
hmmm at the end of the run, i can say, i've definitely developed the utmost respect for paramedics... and i think they're one of the groups of pple who are least recognised for their courage and effort to help others, especially in the face of danger!!!
