January 29th...

At approximately 10pm we were dispatched to a possible medication overdose on a female patient. We arrived and were greeted by Sheriff deputies who filled us in on the story.

Apparently they were at this house earlier in the day for a domestic violence call, and arrested her husband for beating her. Well, after they arrested him she got a little irritated. Once they left she took about 23 of her psychiatric meds in an attempt to 'get back at them' for arresting her husband.

So now were here trying to figure out what it was that she took and what to do with her. When we arrived I was called many different names, and almost had to physically restrain her a few times. She was very combative, mainly because of the meds she took which were not beginning to take affect.

About 1 hour after we arrived we were able to convince her that we were there to help, and that everything was going to be ok. She finally got in the ambulance and was transported to a local hospital and placed on suicide watch.

When we arrived on scene, this lady was WHACKED! I have never seen pupils this big before on anyone. I have had many drug related calls; these people were on some strange stuff, but this was pretty crazy compared to that!
