Neck Pain

Went to the gym at 4:00 A.M. again this morning. Good time.

Three calls in eight hours. A woman with neck pain who had surgery on her neck fusing C4-5-6 two days ago. She was laying in bed and said her neck hurt whenever she moved. What was causing the pain? I don't know, but we c-spined her where she lay.

We did a lady with MS who's left side was spasming, and she was completely flipped out by it. We called and got permission to give her some ativan, which shut down both the spasms and the anxiety.

The last call was an intercept for chest pain for a patient from the I want to get out of work warehouse, and she walked out of the hospital before we were done with our paperwork.
