Are you in High Fashion?

[MedicPrincess]

I need to know. How many of you "match" your uniform accessories. I shall explain.

I had to buy a bunch of crap (read: supplies) for my class.

Pen Light, Trauma Shears, Stethascope, CPR Mask w/plastic case, Eye Protection were just some of the basics.

When I went shopping, the OCD in me came out a little bit and I just HAD to have them all match.

So I walked out with Purple everything.

Purple Pen Light
Handles on the Shears - Purple
Tubing on the scope, a nice shade of lavendar (very pretty)
Case to My CPR Mask, a deep purple
the frames to my eye protection - purple
and the bag to hold them all was the prettiest shade of purple I have seen in a long time.

Now, trying to replace them....and yep, still have to have them match.

So how many of you match, or do you just get all willey nilley and buy whatever with no concern for the color ( OH THE HORROR!!!)?

And on that note...does the color of your stethascope matter in regards to how well you hear out of it (actual question asked in my EMT class).....

 

[namaste1967]

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!! My color is teal!!!!!!! LOL!!!!! :lol:

 

[Chimpie]

I bought teal as well.

 

[Celtictigeress]

Princess... Im with you

Purple...my 4yo neice even got me a Barney pen to match the purple non latex gloves....(thank Gods since Im allergic)

 

[CaptainPanic]

Sorry its Camo for me hehe. Downside is you cant find much camo anything in regards to EMS so I usually get black.

Hmmmm maybe my friends at Avery Outdoors can come up with something! Ive actually asked for a duck blind big enough to cover the ambulance so I can hunt on the job (if that ever actually happens). So far no luck, hehe :lol:

Nice!!!

My boss at work keeps joking that he will go up on one of our parking garages at work and start picking off deer, now that firearm hunting season is on - I think noone would mind, either.... the deer seem to know that they won't get shot on our property, so we have "gangs" of deer that roam our property... gets annoying.

Royal Blue.

 

[ndilley]

regular ol' black

 

[emtbuff]

Usually it is what ever color scope and essentials that I grab while riding to scene in the rig.

 

[TexasMedic]

Colors dont mater to me. I have a blue scope, orange shears, and a green pen light, looks very tacky walking around the EC, but they get the job done and thats what matters. Right?

Safety orange if I can get it. An excellent choice for someone who leaves crap all over the place, forgets where it is, and has to go hunting.

I probably should have chosen pink, because then none of the men will ever try to pick it up... and the women treat things well if they borrow them.... JK!

 

[ResTech]

Whatever works... orange, pink, blue, black, red, purple

Don't knock it. I carried Pink Shears for several weeks of clinicals in an urban, Level I trauma center. I NEVER had my shears swiped, but most shifts I'd loose a pair.

No one EVER took them. EVER. I couldn't get rid of them.

Then I wore them at the squad one day, and one of the female EMT students really liked them. So I gave them to her. She likes me
