The first ambulance came into the parking lot and the evening began. My first patient was covered in sweat, only semi-coherent, and in obvious distress.
The day started off busy and stayed that way. My first patient was a 22-year-old woman who had had four pregnancies, delivered three babies and all had died before the age of two.
The first part of my day on call yesterday was mind-numbingly dull. There are quite a few patients in the hospital right now so it took some time to make morning rounds.
