I'm back after a few days off...
The day started a little exciting. Our medic was called to stage at @ 6:50 am for a multi-jurisdictional drug task force to serve a warrant on a house that was known to contain drugs, dogs and guns. They also said that there was a 90+ year old grandmother that lived with the guy and they were a little worried about her. Thankfully, nothing happened and we were released soon after they stormed the house.
Then a few minor auto accidents...
A few minor medical runs...
Then a call for an overdose. It said on our computer that a female had taken some pills. We got to the house and walked inside to find our patient laying on the couch, crying softly.
"What did you take?"
"I don't know, stuff in the medicine cabinet"
As we walked in I noticed a cute little girl standing in the doorway leading to another room. She's maybe 2 1/2. As we're talking to our patient I glance around and see a bag with a baby bottle in a pocket on the side. Then it hit me...
"You have a baby in here?"
"Yes"
She also has a 8 month old baby in the next room.
So we find the prescription bottles that she had taken the medicine from, @ 20 pills total she told us. As we stand her up to help her to the medic, she was complaining about her stomach hurting. I glance down to her abdomen and notice that it is unusually distended.
"Are you pregnant?"
"Yes, 6 months"
"How old are you?"
"19"
She said that she was tired of taking care of the kids by herself, so she wanted to kill herself.
If that was the case, why did she call someone after she took the pills?
Drama.....
I hope she gets help. I hope that she didn't hurt the baby she's carrying. I hope she learns what causes pregnancy.
On a lighter note... today, 6/20/07, is my 20th wedding anniversary. My wife doesn't know yet but I sent her 40 roses, 20 red and 20 yellow. The note says "20 yellow roses for 20 years of being my friend, 20 red roses for 20 years of being my wife". She'll get it at work in front of all the girls she works with. The flowers will make it ok that this morning, on my anniversary, I'm playing golf.
