    Venigard/Tegaderm over GSW

    I see medics do this for GSW's and stabbings to legs, arms, back, etc. Most of the time they stick, but sometimes (profusely bleeding) they won't hold & we go straight to trauma dressing. My question is, combined with pressure over a dressing, would this hold fairly well? Anyone do the same...

    We run a cell phone system in addition to the pagers right now. They're helpful, but personally I like the pagers better with the way the phones are setup now (for BLS at least). They are fully locked down, no texts/phone calls out except to supervisors and hospitals. That's fine. The annoying...

    Work for EMTs and Medics in San Diego?

    Yep. They hire as needed, usually every few months. They just finished a EMT hire with ~10 people. From what I've heard (and I'm not knocking any other companies) everyone that comes to RM from another socal company says they like it much better, and even take a $1-2 pay cut to switch. BLS rigs...

    Monster Medic Stretchers The Good, Bad, And Ugly

    MM gurneys are really wide too. We had a testing day and the gurneys clipped our legs while sitting the back. We're currently on the stryker H frames in the middle of a gurney change, I hope they don't use this one.

    I didn't know uniforms were so expensive!

    UPDATE: I found out we only get two shirts/two pants initially. After new hire orientation, we get two more shirts and another pair of pants, plus a sweater. That's about $400 more in gear, so it explains the price gap. Also, they just switched to nomex uniforms this year.

    Tru Spec EMS Pants - Navy Blue

    These pants are really nice. Unfortunately they are a size too small for me, so I can't use them. They are brand new w/tags still attached. Size S, which will fit a 28-31 waist. Cuffs are unhemmed, so you can adjust to your liking. These 65% polyester, 35% cotton ripstop EMS pants are stain...

    I didn't know uniforms were so expensive!

    Nope, it's Rural/Metro, I recall her calling off prices as the guy entered it in the computer. Shirt was 81, pants were 91, boots 100, at those prices I'm guessing it's three pairs of each. Assuming they are 100 a piece, that's 600 for shirts and pants (alterations included), plus 100 for...

    I didn't know uniforms were so expensive!

    I went today to get fitted for my work uniforms. They fitted me for 2 or 3 ( I can't remember exactly) shirts and pants, boots, belt, and a nametag. My company is paying for it, but when I went to sign the slip it read $1,451, and the cashier said that was a discounted price! I'm guessing the...
