Apololgies to the person who was trying to post a comment onto my blog.... I was adding to it on the station this morning about 1000 hrs but had a Priority 1 (which wasn't really a Priority 1 when we got there) and never got back to the station till about 1920 hrs. Had 7 jobs today... with about 250kms of travel back and forth to Christchurch. Rangiora is a city of over 12000 people with 6 mmedical clinics but the doctors have refused to do weekends or afterhours - not in their contract - so their answering machine says to ring an ambulance! Lunch break was at Christchurch station. We had a case back at Rangiora ... assault by a woman's 4 year old foster-daughter standing on her with high heel shoes on. The mother was in extreme pain so she called in... Priority 3. Mother is a "known' caller and a little neurotic but we were goig to attend then got reassigned to Priority 1 allergic reaction with swelling around the mouth throat and tongue... turned out ok but transported and then back to Rangiora to the mother assaulted by the 4 year old with the shoe - well stillettoes are sharp! - and then reassigned to Priority 1, near drowning at the aquatic centre. That turned out well too but the girl had previously been allergic to chlorine - but had brought up over 600ml of water.. so back to Christchurch and then home again to knock off at 1920 hrs (1800 fiish supposedly). Alan and Chris crewing. Host David was running a training session (like our CDPs) in town today but he picked me up. Back home and tomorrow, Monday I am flying to Dunedin to meet up with Tania Anderson and do the touristy bit around the south island for a bit and Gayl and David have invited us to stay next Friday night with them before I fly home and Tania heads north.
It's beedn 24 degrees here today...people ask if the uniform is hot... they look shocked when I say I've got a short merino thermal under the shirt! Stephen says it's still cold back home.
Off to bed now.
