Day 20 - Day 14 on the Cruz Verde Norte Ambulancia

Today has been the quietest day of them all by far, in the space of twelve hours we only attended two calls. The first being in the morning, a diabetic that had become unresponsive. After doing a full set of obs we found her not only to be extremely hypoglycemic but also hypertensive with a blood pressure of 200/100. We cannulated and gave glucose, which in a matter of minutes brought her around and after discussing the risks, the patient decided to not go to hospital.

Most of the day we spent in the break room playing games such as "Plague inc." and about forty minutes before the end of the shift we had a call to a multiple vehicle crash. On arrival we found that there were five vehicles involved, however none of the occupants were injured.

At the end of the shift, we had planned to eat at an American style restaurant called "Buffalo Wild Wings" however, on arrival we found that the whole restaurant was privately hired for a function. Nearby was another American style restaurant; "Hooters" so we thought we would give it a try, but I can definitely say it is by far the worst food either Chris or I had eaten since being here.
