Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2014 8:47 pmWell what an interesting evening , i just finished a reply to DashCap when the old man called and said Mum wasn't looking to good (and he cant see bugger all now) so i figured it was bad.
Scramble one of the corollas and head west , when i arrived ma wasn't indeed looking good .... shaking , pale , and a bit incoherent .... rang 111 and about 10 minutes later a paramedic arrived.
Her blood pressure was 210 over something . The guy who turned up was a real pro , he normally works on the rescue chopper here in chc . He was great , straight to the point but reassuring at the same time ... anyway , turns out the old darling (80 but sharp as a tack ) had a reaction to a medication change , so rather than an ambo i took her into ED with a note from him. (he called ahead ) They didn't want me to stay so I'll catch up again the morning.. she will be fine.
I hate this stuff , the olds seem to be getting older by the day .... for as long as i can remember they were always the strong ones , and now its turned around.
But anyway the medics will get her sorted , and i have 110% admiration for that paramedic (Mike) whatever they pay him , he deserves more , a real credit to St Johns.
Anyway thats my evening , how was yours ? better i hope.
