Here's the way I see it. If you can't see your way to go to a ladies botique for good advice...put on the bra of your choice, stand on your head, if they don't fall out you're good to go. Pretty simple. No need to confer with the masses. :wacko:
Gee...I guess it shows intelligence because I'm intelligent enough to know there are better places to seek out my answer about a bra than to ask an EMS forum full of people who are here to discuss issues pertinent to emt life not your bra size. As far as pride goes...if you don't get it then you...
If you know the people on EMTLIFE better than you do your neighbors then why wouldn't you just send a private IM to the working EMS women on this site? From your response to my reply it is OBVIOUS that you already knew what kind of bra you needed. You just said: not a strapless, not a demi, not...
I think that talking to strangers about my breasts, bras, underpants, or any other girly thing shows lack of dignity and respect for my body. I certaintly do not consider Oprah as the infinite advice queen of my world. Nor the one to base my personal decisions on. Furthermore, my body image is...
I was directing my reply to the OP. Perhaps a fitter at a ladies' botique where you actually BUY the bra would have been a better avenue. Divulging your bra size to a bunch of strangers just puzzles me.
I've been working with the same person as private duty nurse's aide for about 5 years. I basically do the same thing everyday at work which includes shopping, dinner, and social pleasantries. BORING! I guess I could make a living at it but I would go crazy just repeating the same monotony every...
This whole post is hysterical! As if EMS is the only occupation or sport for that matter that would require a sports bra. I just don't get it. I'm a runner and somehow I managed to find a good fitting sports bra without having to consult the masses. LMAO. Maybe it's called class?

So what you're saying is I can just call the local station and ask to do a ride a long and tell them I'm in class?
I had no idea I could do that. How long do these rides usually last?
The PPD test always shows a false positive on me anyway. I always have to take a chest xray so I would just rather lower my odds and get the vaccine if there is one.
When I read the original post, I understood it to mean that the situation is occurring when I am not actually "on the job". Of course when I'm on the job everyone gets equal treatment.
As far as the "I'm only going to help a white person" comparison, not sure where you're coming from or what...
You seem to be very knowledgeable and obviously have more experience than I do. I was commenting more on situations as described in someone else's reply that if the patient isn't under the over hang that the hospital staff calls 911. I understand and appreciate the need for protocol in any...
I understand what you are explaining about "boundaries". Of course everything has to be run according to policy or we would have chaos. The only thing I don't understand is why no one can check for responsiveness and begin CPR, if needed, on someone who collapsed on the property.
