Avaz's patrol / Girls falsely reported an epileptic seizure

In addition to the team we went to the interventions with, there are seven other teams on the field with cardio. They cover the entire canton. They get where others can’t or won’t. They respond to the most urgent cases, but also those that are not. What is a call to panic for us ordinary mortals is routine for them.

One such followed very quickly. It seems to me that I have never reached Vidikovac faster. The older lady got sick. At the scene, we learn that he is a demented, 98-year-old person. Her family in amazement. She did not, they say, recognize them.

The next case, too, is an elderly lady. He feels pain in his chest. Due to further searches, she was transported to KUM. Soon after, several more similar calls. Some were transported to KUM, others stayed at home after the help.

"Zagrebačka 18, student dormitory, epi attack", was a short report. However, it is enough for our team to rush to the given address. At the Home, we were greeted by panicked friends of a girl they found unconscious in the middle of the room.

After checking and communicating with her, it is learned that the girl does not have epilepsy at all, and her friends said that they said that because they thought that the ambulance would come sooner. After it was determined that the girl had certain neurological problems, severe headaches and a crisis of consciousness, she was taken to KUM to undergo additional medical examinations.

After several hours of constant work, just as we were about to take a break, a new alert arrived. Traffic accident - Semizovac. We start the rotation, we hurry. Two vehicles were involved in the accident. Two people from one car, fortunately, were slightly injured.

The unscrupulous driver of the other car, who caused the accident, apparently in a drunken state, started driving with a frozen windshield, so he went from his own to the opposite lane and hit another car.

People call for anything and everything, say the guys from the Emergency Room. It is absurd that when a situation occurs in which a person is in danger of death, people generally react calmly, while when "nothing special happens", drama, hilarity, verbal attacks and swearing occur. As they say, there was also a situation where even the police had to intervene to help patients.

By the way, world statistics show that only 20 percent of emergency calls actually fall into the domain of Ambulance. Everything else is calls to which the Emergency Department does not have to, but responds.
