This past weekend was incredibly busy for CALS paramedics, not only did they run multiple medical calls but they also ran 4 very serious trauma calls. The first was mutual aid to Charles County for the rollover, then later on that evening they were dispatched for a pediatric pedestrian struck in St-Leonard. Little did they know the night was just getting started, at approximately 0400 they were dispatched to a stabbing in the Ranch Club, this patient was quickly packaged and flown out to PG trauma. Lastly early in the hours of Sunday night/Monday morning units were dispatched to the report of an mvc with ejection. Units arrived to find a adult subject ejected from his vehicle suffering from severe facial trauma, this patient was also quickly packaged and flown to a local trauma center. A huge thank you goes out to all the paramedics that helped CALS cover all of the calls over the weekend.
