kape . . . kape . . . kape.
Yan palagi ang pang-gabing duty ko.
Ilang basong kape ang nauubos ko magdamag to keep me awake.
Pero kagabi hanep ako sa pag ka toxic.
Flashback tayo . . .
2130H Emergency call recieved stating that there's one patient who suffered from a heart attack in one of the offshore RIG and they need a Medivac.
Syempre as the first responder sa lahat ng Offshore Emergencies, pack-up lahat ng medical equipment and loaded to the chopper/helicopter.
Then . . . fly . . . fly . . . fly . . . na kami going to offshore (astig mga tsong di ba?).
Pag dating sa offshore . . . diretso agad kami sa clinic nila.
Their Medic endorsed the case of his patient. American ang Medic. Natanong ko nalang sa sarili ko . . . " Ano kaya ang ginagawa ng taong ito dito, eh ang sarap ng buhay sa America? Siguro mataas ang offer ni banker? Or taghirap din 'sya 'don kaya napadpad dito. " (hehehe).
Dahil ang init sa labas, mainit din ang ulo ko. Sinira 'nya ang gabi ko. Humanda ka ngayon at pag titripan kong toxickin ang endorsement mo.
Me : What happened to your patient?
Medic : This is a case of 52 year old /m complaining of left sided chest pain radiating to his back and the pain is increasing during movement of his left arm since 3 hours ago.
Me : Ok . . . Where's your ECG and what does it shows?
Medic : Here's the ECG taken an hour ago . . . and it shows NSR.
Me : What's the latest vital signs?
Medic : BP - 112/80 mmHG
Me : What else? (complete!!!)
Medic : P- 68 RR- 19 T- 36.6 SPO2- 99% P/S- 2/5
Me : Did you give any medicines?
Medic : Yup . . . ASA and NTG given. Here's the time and his V/S monitoring sheet.
Me : Line?
Medic : NSS @ KVO started.
Me : Is the patient known HTN or DM?
Medic : Nope! This is the first time that happened to him.
Yun lang . . . marunong siya! Tumigil na ako kasi stable naman ang patient and besides ihing - ihi na ako.
And I ended with the most significant question.
Me : Where's your comfort room? (lol)
Medic : That door on your right.
Me : Thanks.
Then they load the patient in the chopper and fly . . . fly . . . fly na kami pabalik sa lupa.
Chopper landed @ the Emergency Helipad then we brought directly the patient to the Emergency Room.
BTW . . . our Medivac took 45 minutes going to Offshore and another 45 minutes going back to Onshore.
Because the patient was not an Aramco employee, we need to transfer him to his Medical Designated Facility.
Our Doctor coordinated to his DF for transfer.
Dahil nga cardiac case at dahil puro bago ang mga kasama ko . . . ako nanaman ang kasamang mag transfer and the Supervisor emphazises that an ACLS Provider should accompany this patient (pusang galang ACLS na 'to!).
In other words . . . ako nanaman ang sumama sa patient to transfer to his DF via ambulance.
The trip was uneventful. Patient was stable.
I came back 0400H na. I'm so freaking tired. Ikaw ba naman ang mag travel via chopper for less than 2 hours then mag travel by ambulance for another 2 hours! Shit na malagkit. Pero sa ngalan ng sinumpaang tungkulin at matinding panganga-ilangan ng pera . . . kakayanin ko.(lol)
Pag may isa pang medivac . . . hihingi na ako ng tulong sa "TAKDA" ( Dyosa, remember? lol!).
Sa awa ng mga makapangyarihang ahas at scorpion ng desyerto . . . tahimik na ng ako'y dumating.
It's a hell of a night!
