I have been reading some posts about Facebook and other social sites - all cautioning us to be careful with what we posts, stories of others who were stupid, etc. I was wondering if anyone has a specific policy at work that regulates Facebook and other social media? Would anyone be willing to...

Alright, so how much coffee do you typically drink in 24 hours? I am a Dunkin Donuts fan so as a gauge- 10oz = small 16oz = medium 20oz = large 24oz = extra large (great one) A->10oz F->40oz B->16oz G->50oz C->20oz H->60oz D->24oz I->70oz...

Alright I need some others opinions because I am not having any luck with this, they think I am from Mars or something. Basically, this past summer I stayed at vacation resort in Myrtle Beach. I won't say which one, but it's a decent sized one. While I was there, I happened to notice that...

Does anyone wear or have available to wear one-piece suits as their uniform? I know that obviously the people who work for flight programs it is undoubtably a requirement, but what about anyone else? Suits were very popular "back in the day" but seem to have lost their edge. I know a few...

One of my agencies is looking into purchasing and having a policy on eye protection. We are leaning towards mandating eye shields on all calls. Does anyone else currently have similar protocols? Where do you purchase your glasses? The ones we are looking at are $50 a pair! Pricey but they...

Are you issued your own radio or take the radio from the truck? Does it have just your frequency or surrounding agencies/fire/hospital?? I work for companies that do it both ways. At one place we have our own radios that we are responsible for and if you damage or loose it they want your...

I am looking for EMS pants that have side leg pockets that are higher than normal. All of the pants I have ever had have side pockets that are down almost to the knee. I am looking for ones that are just below the regular side/front pockets. I saw a pair at the hospital but I was busy...

The follow-up/survey thread got me thinking of this. Another thing my department is toying with. The File of Life program is basically a well-labeled plastic sheeth that holds papers and is placed most commonly on the resident's fridge that has information such as pmh and a med list. Any...

just wondering what type of first-in or jump kit everyone carries? Just the typical jump kit found in Galls with the large main compartment with dividers and 2 outer pockets on the end? Anyone have the integrated oxygen bottle? Anything completely differant? What sort of equipment do you...
