    Sleeping on the job:how do you do it?

    Well.... my partner is brave and uses the gurney *shudders* but I've used the bench seat. The blue paper sheets make good shades on the back windows. I just cant stand the awful wool airplane lankes we use... though its probably better than the mylar emergency blankets

    Tattoos with Bowers/Pacific?

    not to go off thread here, but whats with the no facial hair policies in place? I did an N95 Respitator test at the hospital with a goatee and I passed no problem.... so if it was neatly upkept in EMS, why the problem?
