Turkey Day

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 09:30 hours. I got dressed and then read the paper and watched a little tv. After that I went out to empty the dishwasher before my brother, aunt, and grandparents came up for thanksgiving dinner. Around 10:40 hours while I was empting the dishwasher, the pager went off for breathing problems in Jackson Township. Me and my dad got in his truck and headed for the "Barn". Once there, we got in 13-1 and off we went. County told us that the Pt's husband also fell out of bed and needed help getting up off the floor and that he was not injured. With this we asked county to dispatch Fisherville Fire Company 216 for medical assistance. Once we got on the scene a few neighbors were there. I went back into the bedroom and the lady was laying on the bed and her husband was on the floor. She was very confused and did not know who her neighbors were, or what day or month it was. While I was talking to her, my dad and the fire department helped the husband up off of the floor and he was ok. The lady refused to go down to the hospital. Once Medic 6 showed up, I went and talked to the husband and the neighbors and the neighbors told me that they found the lady on the bathroom floor when they came back in the house and that she was very confused. I went back and told Jim this and then we tried again to talk her into going down to the hospital, but she still refused. The husband then came back to talk to her. While she was talking to her husband she went into a seizure and with that she was going to the hospital no matter what she said. She also became stiff as a board. We picked her up and moved her over onto the stretcher and sent the husband out into the kitchen. My dad got the oxygen out of the bag and he threw me the bag of nasal airways and I measured one up and then inserted it into her nose. Meanwhile the EMT from Medic 6 ran out to our unit and brought the suction unit in. Jim then got an IV line in and then the lady came out of the seizure and became very combative with us. At this point we strapped her down to the stretcher and then restrained her by tieing her wrist and ankles to the stretcher as she was trying to pull the IV out. As we loaded her into the ambulance, Jim was on his cell phone talking to Hershey Hospital asking to fly her out and they told him to go to Harrisburg Hospital by ground. So they got in and off we went class 1 to Harrisburg Hospital. While the lady was fighintg agasint the restraints, she pulled the IV out and was bleeding all over the place. So I held direct pressure to the site to control the bleeding. She was combative for about 20 minutes and then she retunred to being confused and non-combative. While we were down there, Millersburg Ambulance pulled in and took someone in. After we transferred her to the hospital. I went out and cleaned up the back of the unit and then we talked to the crew from Millersburg for a little bit. After we got what we needed, we headed on home. We dropped the Medic 6 crew off at the unit at the scene and then went back to the shed. Once there I logged our times in and pulled the times up for the call, while my father restocked the unit. After that we headed on home. Once back at the house we all sat down and had dinner and then we talked until it was time for desert. After desert we talked some more and then tey left and my dad took the unit in and I followed him in so I could do my tripsheet. Once in there the party was still going on and I did my tripsheet and talked ot Bill and Carol for a little bit and then headed on back home. I am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to the lonely stud, just give me a buzz.
