Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning Katie for the busy morning head.

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: Always busy in here, mate. They're trying to keep me

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: out of trouble now, I know that well. I believe

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: it was actually on Friday Stoke cell war for fifty

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: eight year old female came off an e scooter.

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, looks just come off that e scooter late in

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: the evening there and spain a number of injuries that

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: required paramedics to attend and give us some treatment. And yeah,

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: look that was followed up again on Sunday morning in

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: the city there again another east scooter incident or a

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: male received a number of facial injury as a result

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: of that incident, very early in the morning. But yeah,

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: look a warning to everyone, you know, if we're going

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: to use those e scooters, We've talked about it before, Katie,

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 2: responsibily and make sure you've got a helmet on and

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: don't write them on the road. So yeah, take it

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: easy and in your.

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: Experience mate is there. Look, do you think that it's

23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: alcohol that is involved or is it sometimes the weather?

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: And is there a few sort of contributing factors.

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: Look, I think there's a few contributing factors. But to

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: be fair, most of these incidents, as we talk about,

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: are happening very late at night early in the morning.

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: So you know, you know, why are people on those

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: good at that time the morning and night? I suppose,

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: and you know, if they are used responsibly. And I've

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: used them with my family and I'm sure a lot

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: of other people listening have and we've used them responsibly,

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: and I think they're a fantastic addition to Day one.

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: But obviously, you know, people do need to use them appropriately.

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. On Sunday seven pm, so this

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: is last night, and Stuart Parker, twenty nine year old male,

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: was out for a run and got attacked by some dogs.

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've been saying it for a long time in

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: my wife Katie outsize of Dan. But look, we've spoken

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: about dog bites a bit over the last couple of weeks.

41
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: So I don't know what's going on out there in

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: dog land, but yeah, it looks four young valas out

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: there doing the right thing and I got to take

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: by a couple of dogs I believe in Stuart Park

45
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: had a number of angle ankle injuries, not too serious,

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: but required us to take in the hospital for poor bugger. Yeah. Yeah,

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: it's a bit scary, isn't it. You know, you're out

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 2: trying to do the right thing and there's nothing worse

49
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: than having a dog attack you. It is quite traumatic

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: and scary.

51
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, And so were his injuries. They weren't too bad.

52
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 2: No, it just required a number of stitches, I believe.

53
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: And obviously, you know, dog bites traditionally very cause a

54
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: lot of infection, so obviously make sure you know the

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 2: appropriate injections are done. So that's why our parameds have

56
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: transported in and had he massessed to the hospital.

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough.

58
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: Hey.

59
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Then in Howard Springs, a seventy seven year old male

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: last night was bitten by a snake.

61
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, just around the corner from where there I live.

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: And again we've had a number of snake bites over

63
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: the last couple of months. This gentleman bitten about nine o'clock.

64
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: I actually about half our state last night. I started

65
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: to show signs of veamination, which is unusual quickly, so

66
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: obviously paramedics quickly attended and treated this gentleman and got

67
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: him up to the Royal Dale Hospital where they were

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: able to assess, you know, his condition and ensure that

69
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: if quid he got the right andy venom.

70
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: Any idea what type of snake?

71
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: No, I don't have that information with me at the moment.

72
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: I think last week we talked about someone taking one

73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: up to the hospital in the bag. They didn't this time.

74
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: Is that snake season or what's the guy? We seem

75
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: to have lots on the go at the moment.

76
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: Look a lot of rain which washes them out, you know,

77
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: obviously a lot of water around, so it brings them

78
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: out of their normal habitat. And obviously the heat, you know,

79
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: it's warming up again, so I think that gets them

80
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: out and about. And it has been a bit dry

81
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: out how it springs the last couple of days, so

82
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: I think snakes are out about it again.

83
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, Craig garaway for a dull moment,

84
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: particularly for you guys. Snake bites, scooter crashes, dog bites,

85
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: It's all happening.

86
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: Bits of everything and keeps our paramly it is very

87
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: busy and obviously out in the roads all day, every day. Yeah,

00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,600
