Nice and snug in my bed when the pager wakes me up. Page reads ," At "location" A baby fell and is acting weird. I get up and dressed. Run to the car and head to the station. Try to get the medical unit to start but the battery was dead. Grabbed the medical bag and threw it in a grass rig and away we go.

We arrive at the location and the mother meets us at the door holding the 18 month old child. Initial examination does not reveal any problem. The child had fallen out of a chair and landed on her back and head. After the fall the child had arched her back and was screaming. The child was behaving normally and had no physical injuries that we could find.

The ambulance arrived and the paramedics could not find anything wrong with the child either. The mother opted to not have the child transported to the ER. We packed up our gear and headed back to the station.
