So as promised, heres my weekend on duty, thing is, I cant go into too much detail, mainly because so much happened, and all on the Sunday, because, to be honest, the Saturday was shit.
We can get the ball rolling with a young girl who managed a faceplant on stage, we had to get a nurse to check for c-spine injuries, which meant me standing up for a long time holding her head still, one hand in a funny position because there was a side of a vehicle in the way.
Then we had to break out the oxygen for a woman with low sats.
Then, and this is my personal favorite of the day, just because it was so different, a girl who got bit by a funeral horse. Thats something you don't see every day.
As soon as I got back on station, after going for a run in the rain from a PR tent, hence the muddy boots (although to be fair parts of that park now resemble Glastonbury) we got a running call to a guy who dislocated his shoulder closing a car boot. Well that should be a query dislocated, but you could see it was.
The rest of the day was fairly mundane, until we had packed up and we were leaving, then the police requested we attend to a girl who had been pushed over, we got there to find her flat on the floor, a bystander already controlling the head, which was good of him. Another c-spine check by the nurses (we have to keep them busy) and she was cleared of any neck injuries, but with advice to travel to hospital because she had lost consciousness for a couple seconds.
All in all Sunday was a satisfying day, but i could have done with a bit less running, and rain.
