First stabbing

Encountered my first stabbing today.

For folk who aren't aware, Glasgow is kinda well known for knife crime.
The east end of Glasgow in particular is the knife capital!
And yes, I'm working in the A&E dept in the east end of Glasgow...

One of the consultants mentioned that "stabbings often come in runs..."

Guess he's right.

There were 2 that came in together at about mid-day... then there was the guy who sustained a skull fracture after being assaulted with a bottle... then just as my shift was about to end, there was another with multiple stab wounds.

So yah, all very exciting.

Wonder what tomorrow holds.
