You know you are an EMT/Paramedic when...

[Martyn]

...I was in my local Walmart the other day and standing at the checkout behind me was a young (early 20's) girl. Now, this is the thing, this girl was REALLY pretty. Tall, with legs all the way up to her armpits. She was wearing shorts and on her right leg was one of those splint/brace/sports injury type things. It went from her ankle all the way to her hip. Now this is the thing...what was my first thought? I wouldn't have minded palpating HER leg when she injured it :wacko:

You know when you're an EMT/Paramedic, when you secretly wish you had a siren/light bar on your private car to clear traffic.

Your probably not an emt/pm If you want this, because emt/pm know that's not really what happens with lights and sirens...

Who needs lights and sirens? A turrent mounted M-2 works so much better.

Done that. I saw a very nice looking guy at the store the other day, and my first thought was wow I wish everyone had veins like that.

Yup...patients houses and some nursing homes.
