First call yesterday: 5 vehicle MVC with entrapment and 3 trauma alerts, 2 of which were peds; their parent ended up having a T-injury and a dissecting aorta.

First call today: homeless 26 year old IV drug user with chest pain, curiously on the same exact spot where he has abrasions to his ribs from falling down drunk 2 days ago.

Most recent call today: menstrual cycle. Literally just on her period. No cramps, no heavy flow. Times 4 hours. Was in the shower "freshening up" when we arrived. When we took her to triage, she suddenly began to act like she was passing out. Report still given to triage nurse, who proceeded to bang her head on her desk twice.

Police pursuit on the freeway. Speeds of 160mph. Rolled twice after trying to avoid spike strips. 2 minor injuries and 1 moderate. Transported the 2 minor injuries with our supervisor behind us and 4 highway patrol units as an escort since the patients were in custody on felony charges.

78 yo F actively seizing upon our arrival. Family described her as having minor seizures throughout the day but recovered within a couple minites until this one. Medics pushed midazolam, which stopped the seizing, but she remained unconscious/unresponsive for the trip to the hospital, GCS of 1-1-1. O2 sats were in the mid to low 80s, don't remember the rest of the vitals or HAM (Hx, allergies, meds) off the top of my head
