Re: My Night Shift
by
Alan Brain
At a guess...
(i) Chest Pain. Heart attack possibility, minutes are precious.
(j) Overdose. Never know when they're going to aspirate vomit etc
(k) RTA - no mention of injuries, but from the sound of it, you'd need X-rays etc to rule out internal injuries.
(l) Pregnancy - ultrasound possibly required even if foetal heartbeat etc OK.
I'd have taken (a) Fractured Wrist too, but the ones on the list are the only things possibly life-threatening. I'll go for this one instead
(g) Assault - needs hospital at some time, anyway.
The only medical training I've ever had is a 35-year old Lifesaving course ( CPR) and a 30-year-old NBC (what to do if nerve-gassed) course, so I'm probably wildly out.
