Long Day

Had a nurse riding with me today for part of the day. The medic program always sends me their nurses instead of making them do ER time. She was good. She is an experienced nurse, who just needs to learn the choreography of the street call.

We did two nursing home calls when she was with us -- a pnemonia and an HIV type flu.

Later in the day we did a jaundiced bed-ridden patient.

Even though I only did three calls, it seemed like a long day. Each call was to the farthest possible hospital.
