Re: A New Job Title?

I hear you Tom, there is also an emerging trend I am experiencing here....waking up patients in bed after being called by their partners/family....like the other night shift called out at 3am to an 86 YO male chest pain, severe respiratory distress with an extensive cardiac hx. So with our defibrillator, oxygen-resus bag and drug kit in tow (about 30-40kg in all), we were met by the concerned wife and we trooped into the bedroom to find the most well perfused, sleeping (snoring actually) 86 YO male. And wasn't it a surprise for him when I woke him up from his deep slumber. Thankfully the case wasn't quite as stated and he had only experienced some chronic abdo pain earlier in the night before bed. I also noticed on the bed side table the paperwork left at 4am a couple of night shifts before from the crew called to the patient ? not breathing...........clearly he was when they also arrived to wake him up.
