Expired 2000

Hot, sticky day. Started off with a long transfer. We drove about forty minutes to pick up a lady at a distant nursing home to take her another thirty miles to a dialysis center. I guess they closed down the dialysis center near her. I was a little annoyed when I heard a basic car calling for a medic shortly after we got the call, but I didn't mind the air-conditioned drive. My car had just been filled with freon the day before.

On the way back we were sent to a chest pain. The pain came on at work for a fifty- four year old man unrelieved by his nitro. I gave him two nitro and the pain cleared up. I looked at his nitro -- it had expired six years ago.

Later did another dialysis transfer and an old woman with a UTI.

Back tomorrow for 12.
