    Torniquets are in our protocol yet we are not supplied any. If I ever have a patient that requires one I'd rather not have to shop around for someone's belt. If it buys me a write-up, whatever. The pulse oximeter is not my end all be all either. I understand how unreliable the finger ones...

    The only things I bought were the CAT and pulse ox. But scopes, jackets, electronics, and stock all go walking.

    They leave the company issued equipment alone. But god forbid you leave or forget something on a truck. Labelling it with your name doesn't matter. The calipers are a holdover from my paramedic instructor. He was heavy on cardiology and intervals and all of that. Its more of a good luck...

    Yup. There are some rotations where I only touch my cell phone and some rotations where I am emptying my pockets on a nightly basis. Its much easier to start an IV when I can reach into one pocket for everything instead of going into two different bags and three pockets or two different...

    Securing Controlled Meds

    The narcotics are stored in a double-locked cabinet on the truck or the paramedic can carry them on his/her person. For an administration we need to fill out a paper and electronic administration record with waste witness signatures. However if we use the entire balance then we don't need one...
