8:46 AM
What a day for me yesterday. haahaa... Last nite was having class at Dhoby Ghaut there. Finish at 9.30pm. Den after i get out of the school, first thing on my mind was faster go to the MRT toilet cos high tide. As i was at the traffic light, witness a Car knock down a cyclist. Immediately I called my Ops room and ask for Alpha.
And immediately i rush to the scene. Somemore is in the middle of the road. Pt was lying on the ground unresponsive. GCS level is 3. Not response to pain either. Faster did a head grip and wait for the alpha to come as his back landed first, first thing in my mind was suspected spinal injury, u will nv know. After awhile, this particular guy holding a cup of Macdonald coke, walk towards me and wanted to help me. And he say he was "Paramedic Trained", Den he "take his pulse", he just touch the hand and say pulse is fast. I was like what the point of taking the pulse. Den ask him to do spinal management and he say he dunno as i nid to let go of my hand and do a RBS on him. In the end i say forget it. After 7mins, FRP (Fast response Paramedic) camp and i ask for C-collar, den after he attach to him, i let go of my hand and began to do the necessary procedure. Suddenly this guy, stupid of what. Ask the FRP for spinal board, i was like, how should a motorbike carry a spinal board, and the FRP smile and say its on the alpha.
After abt 2 mins, alpha came, Somemore is from my station. haahaa...The PM came to attend to the Pt and i go help the medic which is my fren with the setting up of equipment needed. This guy, action take the other half from the medic and wanna set it. I ask him to put on number 2. He as me what is number 2, and i say forget it, give it to me and i settle it, attach to the PT and load and go. Abang and medic and PM was shock when they saw me with the PT. haahaa... After that they say thanx to me and they go.
After that, TP came, ask me for my ID and ask me what happen, den i tell him. He wanted me to be the witness,at first i dun wan but i tink its ok bah. do a good deed by helping. At least case can close fast. haha.. Den i make a move as i meeting my fren to reformat her lappy.
Story goes like this, This chinese national, was cycling on the extreme right lane, den suddenly he just cut thru the lane and wanna go to the left lane, but the oncoming car, cant stop on time and E-brake for abt 10cm. can c the tyre mark. But too bad he bang onto the back of the bicycle and the cyclist "fly forward" and landed back first. No other visible injury except abrasion of abt 20cent coin on the right palm.
I understand how the driver feel. He cant even swift left or right as the traffic last nite was so heavy. Guess what, after i left the scene, the TP was on the other side of the road getting some documents bah. Den this taxi driver, stupid or what. Almost knock down the TP, and the TP just stare at him for few second, the driver just say sorry using hand signal, the TP ask him to get out of his car, he just keep on use the sorry hand signal, den in the end he just come out, can c the TP was so angry and ask him for his ID and driving licence. Dunno y he cant even c the TP who was wearing white somemore. Tink either he is dreaming or colour blind. haha...After awhile, saw he was arrested on the spot. This kind of taxi driver should be put to jail or banned from driving. Most of the RTA case i attended is always involve taxi.
After everything, left the scene to yishun mac. helping becca to reformat the lappy and guess what.until abt 12.45am man...real tired after that took a cab home and slp. today woke up late and have to take cab to work. haha,,,
