My First Ambulance Event...

Well I must admit that today was one of my favourite days. I got to take out my own ambulance and crew it with my best friend Mrs H. We went to the Maihihi Trail Ride with 430 riders!

Well we had 5 patients with 2 of them being transported to hospital by another ambulance. We had to load up the quad bike with our gear and drive out on the track to pick up a patient with a broken wrist. Then back to our ambulance only to discover that we had another patient who had been knocked out after falling heavily from his bike. With those 2 sorted out and on their way to hospital we had a break of about half and hour and then we were back on the quad bike off to the "kids track" to help a young girl who had falled from her bike and sprained her ankle. We also had a few bee stings and bumps and bruises.

All in all a great day by my standards. Am so proud of myself and Mrs H for being brave enough to give it a go!

Can't wait for next time!
