Well, I haven't been posting much here recently, that's because I haven't done much work, January was a slow month.
The only work I did then was new years day, I covered a gay night, one of the biggest south of the river. And, well, let's put it this way, drugs are as common as alcohol at these nights. Security do a fine job and stop a lot getting through, but without doing strip searches on every guest then some is always gonna get it. It usually becomes a problem if it's been cut with something dodgy, or more commonly, the drugs are mixed and matched, or the idiot taking them takes too much. GHB is the most common, with MDMA, Ketamine, Methadone and weed all putting in appearances. 4 people went to resus that night.
It all really picked up again this weekend. Friday was a dead slow night, international students, so no big deal there, I got home early, after blagging my way into a shut tube station to top up my oyster card. Oh, and being completely oblivious to a drunk throwing up right in front of me on the bus home, but hey ho.
Saturday night, well, that was, shall we say, interesting. I shan't go into detail here as, well, it might make some readers blush. I shall leave it as it was a fetish night, and aside from the normal mix of drunks there was also an interesting injury, but not in the way you might expect.
Finally, we had Sunday night. It was an underage party, so 14-18 year old kids, that haven't discovered personal hygiene, or any sort of respect. I shall confess, I did get annoyed at them, to the point you could hear me shouting above the music at these kids to shift every time I needed to get somewhere, and I made them co-operate simply with a look.
That night had the mix of kids getting drunk before, and getting high during, this time on e's. That is the dumbest thing to do in a club, on the dance floor, as exemplified by one girl who ended up having a febrile convulsion because of it, then tried to tell us she had epilepsy, even though her temp was 38.9 or something similar, 5 minutes after she came into our very cool medical room, topless and in shorts. Yeah, photosensitive epilepsy my arse.
She had a lucky escape, however others might not. So be careful.
