Memorial Day weekend had proved to be steady for CALS with the usual medical calls. By Sunday CMH ER was "full" and CALS was trying to help out by diverting any patients possible to other facilities, PMIC Dimakas had just left Calvert county with a chest pain patient en route to CIVISTA in LaPlata with Charles A1005. Chief 10 was alerted by communications that M101 had just left the county and would probably OOS for 2 hrs. Chief 10 was in the Prince Frederick area and picked up ALS coverage until M101 could return. Not but 5 mins after going in service Chief 10 an Co.6 units were dispatched a for a subject with multiple amputated fingers. Co.6 arrived on scene first and quickly controlled bleeding and packaging of the fingers. Chief 10 arrived and performed a consult with the hand center and administered morphine for pain management. US Park Police Eagle 2 handled the flyout to Union Memorial in Baltimore.
