Today has been a banner day, if you like rain. Although it's been busy, it's been a lot of the same old stuff.
Little old ladies fall down.
We had a patient today that had a triple by-pass on the 3rd of this month, was sent home yesterday, and called 911 today because her chest hurt. Well no shit! You just had your chest cracked open a week ago!
We also had a guy today that somehow managed to poke himself in the face with a rake. A garden rake. Not one of the big leaf rakes that can get out of control, but a garden rake... with the little short steel tines. He managed to run one of those tines thru the bridge of his nose into his sinus cavity. Luckily it missed his eye, and missed the tear drop tattoo's at the corner of his eye. Hate to see that artwork messed up. When asked about any medical history, he admitted to a previous stabbing, and a previous shooting. I've had several with one or the other, not many with both. Now he can add a "raking" to his list.
And the latest, a double overdose. Mom took 20 Ativan, son took 19 Xanax. I have no idea what the story is behind it... I can only imagine the conversation before hand. "I'll see your 19 and raise you 20!"
