EMED ROCKS!!!

had the most awesome ambulance run with maddy
didn't have motion sickness like e last time cos i took my hysocine
saw 2 breathlessness...(1 copd 1 asthma)
1 drunk sleeping in the middle of the freaking carpark
1 altered mental state due to hypoglycemia
and 2 resuscitations.(1 old lady with renal failure and another young baby with down's and an AVSD)

got to do CPR, both adult and infant...
infant CPR is tiring as hell too..
the poor baby...was already bluish when we came..
collapsed in the alpha, and had to have half a dozen needles stuck into her at the hospital. IO too.
she didn't make it despite 1/2 an hour of valiant efforts...which was a real downer...
the old lady didn't make it either...but at 83 and with multiple comorbidities. .it seems somewhat more "ok"

all in all...this last week of emed has been amazing...finally saw my vf and asystole....though i still haven't heard anyone shout STAT...
damn!
