I'm taking a stab in the dark to assume this person wants a personal bag and may or may not work in EMS yet. With that out of the way, my state does not have a checklist for required BLS bag items. For all my state cares you can make a BLS bag out of two sticks and a piece of chewing gum...

I'm extremely bored so I'll bite. In our service issued BLS kit we have an adult section with adult bvm, NC, NRB, OPA's, and NPAs. A section for peds with an infant mask, peds mask and NC, and a bvm for each. We have a trauma section with the following: 1 Trauma Pad series of 4x4s sterile...

I feel you there, I have quite a sizable library growing :D I'd like quite a few more titles. May I recommend also you check out your library to see if you have access to 'pay articles' from pubmed or the Emergency Medicine Journals. Through our public library I get access to a bunch of that...

I don't think the temp will be an issue around here hehe. I can't count many times the actual temp drops below -10F around these parts :P

I have wanted that jump bag since way before Trauma and my wife recently ordered it for me then I saw it on Trauma. I don't care one way or another though, it's a really really nice bag. I like it better than the ones made by Pacific (or the bags designed after the pacific bags) which are the...

Oh,I also have my belt pouch with star of life, my drop holster for two trauma shears, magill forceps, alligator clamps, bandage shears, 2 pen lights (one LED one reg), I wear my "Shock em till you got a workable rhythm" EMS hat, my L&S on my personal car, but I ONLY use them on scene when I...

I have a star of life sticker on my car (2x2 inches) and I have my own stethascope. I guess some people would consider that whackerish. That's all I really do, I do have my own kit but thats because I find the kits they give us at work to be crap (most the gear doesn't work and I end up having...

I personally carry in my pockets an ALS quick reference guide, shears, a pen light, an extra pen, a small note pad, and a bottle of eye drops for contacts. I do this because our BLS kits use a tag system to maintain stock and the shears and penlights are tagged up (so I have to rip the tag and...

If it's against policy, it is against policy. Maybe they could go about it other ways (IE it says stickers and technically a magnet is not a sticker). However he broke policy and now has to pay whatever punishment is assigned to breaking that policy.

I wear the cheapest decent looking analog watch I can find. I can't believe we've gotten to the point on this forum to ask for a recommendation on a WATCH! Find a cheap watch that you like and wear it. Do you need a recommendation on what type of toiletry bag to use when working 24+'s?

Billing is not something i'm interested in. I'm not going to base my treatment off of whether or not I think the patient can afford it or not. If a patient needs something I'm not going to hold off on fear that it's going to be charged out to them. As for knowing where the runs go once...
