Emergency
Have mentioned that i HATE my new job?
Well last saturday i had a very excited day, but not in the way you think.
I had to call 911 for a resident!
I don't know if i told you but this is a apartment building for old people or people who have problems.
So i had just gone to the bathroom and was coming back to the desk. When the lady who i got to sit behind the desk while i went to the BR, was talking on the phone with one of the residents. She then turned to me and said the the lady was BLEEDING! So i grabed the master key (that open's every door in the building) and went up to her room.
I was not perpared for what i saw!
She was standing in her kitchen with Blood all over the floor! I fell like throwing up or fainting (whichever came first). But i manage to ask her if see was feeling faint or whoozing (yes, that is not a medical term), She said No. I didn't really know why i needed to go up to her room, when see could have just told me over the phone what was wrong and i could have called 911 faster.
But no, so first i took her dog (which she was holding, and not trying to stop the bleeding) put it in his kennel. Then told her to sit down. Even if she didn't feel dizzy know, she might. Then i asked her if she wanted me to call 911. Because sometime's they don't want you too, they'd rather you call a family member. But she said yes to 911, and then i went back downstairs to call since she didn't have a landline and her cell was dead (she had managed to call right before it died) and my cell wouldn't get any bars up there (on the 12th floor).
Called 911 gave them all the info that i had, which it turns out not alot since she didn't have a demographic sheet.
*A demographic sheet is a sheet of paper wih info like Medical problems, in case of emergency call, which hospital would you like to go to, etc*
See when you call 911 your surpose to pull their demo sheet make a copy and give it to them when they get there.
But she didn't have one!!!
It ended up ok, they got there i went up with them. The banaged her leg, said she didn't need to go to there hospital. But if next time you cut yourself somewhere, Put pressure on the spot, to try and stop the bleeding!
when i got back downstairs the lady who was sitting for me left. And i sat down and wanted to curl up in a ball and call my mommy. Sad but true.
So that was what my saturday was! How about you? Anything that fun?
Well thank you for letting me rant.
More Later!
