Nonstop Night.
Crazy busy night tonight. It was STAT reg, after STAT reg.
We had some poor 20-yr-old kid brought in who was trying to repair his gas heater when it blew up in his face; he was brought in by EHS,intubated with 70% burns.
Charred flesh has a very distinct smell.
Although, on the news they had him as a 39-yr-old male; it is funny how often they get their facts wrong.
Right before I left we also had some sweet 95-yr-old lady GCS <9, brought in from a care home, who had been given an incorrect dosage of meds; poor gal.
Luckily we were fully staffed, so the load was manageable. Off to bed, so I can do it all over again tomorrow!
