    Airborne bloodborne pathogens test

    Education, Education, Education. They say practice makes perfect and I completely agree with your standpoint Flight. What if BSI wasn't drilled into our heads? Would you say putting on gloves was a "waste of time" if the patient didn't look to be bleeding but when you assessed was pouring blood?

    Ear Peices

    I also work security in some places and I use an earpiece there, but only because they are required by the security company's written policy. I would rather have a shoulder mic, but I do what I have to in order to keep that job. Working the truck, I use a shoulder mic.

    Do you pack heat?

    It has to be remembered that our head is our #1 tool, whether it be in our jobs, or in our lives. A gun is nothing more than a tool, and should only be used in situations that call for that tool. Very well said CAO.. Any of us who carry hope that we never have to use our weapons, but that will...
