Finished Assessments!

I spent about 5 hours at my home station on Friday night trying to finish my assessments. Not one call!! So, since time was getting short I went to another station in a nearby town that runs a ton!! I had done a shift there last weekend and did one assessment and needed to get the paperwork. Well, I got the paperwork for that call and ran four more. I was there until 0530 this morning. We ran a "seizure" call which turned out to be a woman who had passed out. She signed a release and we went on our way.
Later we had an injured subject. The call was at a bar and there were 4 or 5 police cars outside when we pulled up. We had three students on the rig(all male) plus the lead EMT who was female and the driver (an older gentleman). The lead felt a little nervous so I handed off the gear I had grabbed to one of the other students and I acted as bodyguard at first. I just made sure to watch her back. The injured subject was a drunk who got his butt kicked bad!! He did not want much help and copped an attitude all the way to the hospital. (He was still there on my last run)
We transported a man with back pain who had been seen a few days earlier and did not feel the drugs were working.
The last call was a man with bronchitis and COPD who was having trouble breathing. We had a medic ride to the hospital on that one. He gave him some drugs through an IV and an inhaler.
I got home about 0600 and slept until about 0900. I am getting ready to crash soon. 0430 comes awfully early!!
