Two Minutes

Did a bunch of transfers to start the day including a wait and return at a doctor's office. The poor woman we brought in barely fit on our stretcher. Her right side was flaccid from a stroke and we had a hard toime keeping her straight. At the doctor's office, a nurse took her BP and her pulse and listened to her heart. Fifteen minutes later the doctor came in and talked to her for about two minutes. he asked her is she had any chest pain or any trouble breathing, and then he listened to her lungs in two places while she lay on the stretcher. I offered to help him sit her up, but he said that was allright, and then he left. He wrote some notes for her, and then we left.

Other calls included a chest pain that was just hyperventilation, a motor vehicle accident and a drunk who fell down.

Tomorrow I'm only working eight.
