Daycare calls me. That's never good.
For them.
Daycare: "your son hurt his elbow and won't move his arm. Can you come take him to a doctor's office?"
Me (ex Special Forces Medic): "A real doctor is on the way to you now. I am 6 mikes out. Alert me of status changes."
I arrive at daycare. I locate the patient. 21 month old male. Scene is not safe. I drag the patient to cover and concealment behind a seesaw, away from the other small terrorists in the AO.
I begin my assessment. Blood sweep negative for massive hemorrhage. Mental status: conscious and verbal but confused (answers "dada" when asked for blood type). One breath every 2 seconds. Bilateral rise and fall of the chest. Strong carotid pulse, strong bilat radial pulse.
Teeth and tongue intact no blood no mucus no dip or foreign objects. Eyes PERRLA, negative JVD/trach deviation, C-spine intact upon palpation.
Heart sounds strong upon auscultation. Percussion negative for hemo-T. Abdominal quads normal upon palpation. Pelvis negative for book sign.
Arms and legs negative for crepitus. However, Patient indicates discomfort in right arm upon palpation and supination/flexion of the elbow.
Nursemaid's elbow.
I begin interventions. Supination/flexion technique complete at 1215. Palpable clunk on successful reduction. I write the time on his chest in Sharpie. I tape a popsicle to his hand and tell the patient to suck but do not bite/chew. I write "1 x popsicle (10g sugar)" on his chest in Sharpie.
I reassess the patient after performing interventions then package the patient for handoff to daycare/higher level of care. I yell at daycare over the Blackhawk in my head: "21 month old male!!! Nursemaids elbow!!! Treated with supination/flexion technique at 1215!!! Patient has 1 x popsicle onboard!!"
Daycare: "sir please leave."
Me: "you should have called my wife."
#Iraq#SITREP | All eyes are on Baghdad this morning, and not because of Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas @Araghchi's visit. Instead, Iraqi authorities under the auspices of Iraq's new prime minsiter Ali Falih Kadhim al-Zaidi have launched what appears to be the largest anti-corruption crackdown since 2003. Officially, the campaign stems from confessions made by former Deputy Oil Minister Adnan al-Jumaili, whose testimony reportedly triggered a series of judicial warrants targeting senior politicians, former officials, businessmen, and members of parliament.
Local Iraqi sources tell @BashaReport that heavily armed units from the Counter Terrorism Service, Special Forces, and the Iraqi Army carried out coordinated raids across Baghdad's Green Zone, Karkh, Rusafa, and several other provinces to prevent suspects from fleeing.
According to Iraqi state media and local reporting, those arrested or targeted in the operation include:
1) Bahaa al-Nouri, member of parliament affiliated with former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani's coalition.
2) Mudhar al-Karawi, member of parliament.
3) Mohammed Farman, member of parliament.
4) Mohammed al-Karbouli, member of parliament from the Azm Alliance.
5) Muthanna Samer al-Ra'i, member of parliament and leader of the Azm Alliance.
6) Alia Nassif, member of parliament affiliated with former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani's coalition.
7) Hassan al-Khafaji, member of parliament affiliated with the same coalition.
8) Mohammed al-Sayhoud, former member of parliament and a relative of former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani.
9) Ibrahim al-Sumaidaie, political analyst.
10) Hind al-Abbasi, member of parliament from Salah al-Din with ties to Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq.
11) Ali Ma'arij, former Deputy Oil Minister who was recently placed under U.S. sanctions.
12) Ziad al-Janabi, former chairman of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee and current member of parliament.
13) Mohammed al-Mayyahi, former governor of Wasit and current member of parliament.
14) Hussein Mo'nis, a member of parliament and senior figure in Kata'ib Hezbollah.
15) Alaa Sakar, a member of parliament affiliated with former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani's coalition.
Iraqi officials say the arrests were authorized by the judiciary after parliament lifted immunity for several lawmakers during the current legislative recess. Prime Minister al-Zaidi has pledged that his government will continue pursuing corruption cases regardless of rank or political affiliation.
