    Should EMS/Fire be armed?

    Are you talking about a pat down or a search? They’re two very different things and the requirements for each are also different.

    Cops and former cops: do you like EMS better?

    I’m right there with you after 10 years LE. I’d love to work for a public safety agency that does LE/Fire/EMS but those are few and far in between. I’ve only got my EMT, can’t imagine taking that pay cut. I’ve thought about going to nursing school as well.

    Who carries a med kit in their vehicle off-duty?

    I always have an IFAK with TQ, hemo gauze, pressure dressing, chest seals and decomp needle in the car. My trauma work bag is usually in the trunk 95 percent of the time also when I’m off but that’s a last resort.

    Stethoscope pouch/holder

    Does anyone know of a good pouch or holder for a stethoscope that’s Molle compatible? I’m looking for something to put on my trauma bag to store it and keep it from getting banged up while it rides in my trunk. Thanks

    Narcan, or Not.

    We issue it to all of our people. I don’t have a problem with it. I agree that the risk of exposure through daily operations is extremely small. If you can ask for narcan you don’t need narcan.
