*17th July*

I got my EVER FIRST ride on the ambulance today.After 'the hang out' in the female medical department,i went to the emergency ward.In the midst of patients with eye irrigations and bandages,we received a call on a skidded and overturned car!!! The paramedics were getting ready and stress was mounting in the atmosphere.One of the paramedics told us "there's empty space,who wants to come?"..I was so excited that I jumped into the ambulance..too ecstatic that I was imagining and telling my junior that by now definitely the rescue team would've been there.I even imagined the normal catastrophic scene with a large pool of blood and not to leave out..a huge crowd.1 driver,3 paramedics and 2 medical students in an ambulance which sped off about 20 km from the hospital.The adrenaline rush is definitely present once the siren was switched on.You don't have to be a YB/PM/star/prominent person to clear the road..all you need is to get into an ambulance-relax,sit back and enjoy the speeding ambulance ride!We got ourselves prepared with sterile gloves waited anxiously till we reached the scene of accident.

Upon reaching,the car was still in good shape despite the overturn.The victim was in good consciousness with GCS :15/15.After settling the one and only patient on the ambulance,we headed back to the hospital.We managed to talk to the patient who complained of chest pain(perhaps due to the shock/tachycardia).Patient's condition: a 4 cm cut on his forehead.Reason of accident: patient was too sleepy--he lost control of the car!

Praise the Lord for there were no other victims.The only indication/sign of the accident scene is the car and a few passerby.Besides that,nothing more exciting happened..well blame it on my overused brain which causes my imaginations to run wild.Anyhow,it was a worthily experience being on an ambulance.How many of us actually get that chance?I'm definitely the lucky one!I want more rides and the next time,I'm still going to hop into it!:)*
