It was as busy morning, patient came pouring like flood… We had a call from the emergency dispatching center during the chaotic scenario. There was this “Swimming across the bay” event held down south and due to poor weather, about 200-300 participants were unable to swim back to shore, there were expecting a mass casualty scenario and we were requested to standby.
I did not initiated the massive casualty routine as the site was too far away(60km + ) and there are 3 hospitals nearby the area.
Many were scooped out from the sea however only 2 drowning of no sign of life were noted. Another 5 were sent to local hospital for treatment.
Well, I was quite happy that my speculation was right but not for long.
After my dinner at 6pm, 4 patients c crampy abd pain, vomiting and diarrhea were brought in. The person who brought them had told us that there is more to come as all of them had eaten the same bento(lunch box…)
I had seen 20+ food poising related case since then ….
What is yours is yours…just can’t hide….
