So I am visitng my parents and a situation occurs where I needed to call EMS for my Dad.
In my parent's area, paid paramedics arrive first, in a fly-car, do an assesment and then EMTs in an ambulance come and they designate the patient either BLS or ALS and transport accordingly.
The medics left after the intial assesment.
No, I did not pull the "I am an EMT"-CARD out. I was calm and brief. A resident and the ER supervisor both asked me if I was somehow involved in healthcare by the general way I acted (so, cue up a few "cool story bro" images to post in this thread).
I want to express my appreciation to the service that helped my Dad. I was going to write their EMS Chief a letter and enclose patches from my service. One for the EMT's house, One for the Medic's house, and one each for the two EMTs and two paramedics.
Something, however, tells me mailing six patches would be overkill. However, again, if I just send them to the EMTs the Medics might feel unappreciated, if I just send them to the males (one male EMT and one female EMT) the females might feel slighted, even though they probably care not for patches; though women do get jealous easily.
If I just send one for each HQ, the rest of the staff might pressure the individuals to give up the personal patches for the house, which they may want for a personal collection, and when they leave the service (the guy EMT had already been with another agency and is going away to grad school out of the area in a year) they lose their "memento."
Then the other day, before I could ask my services uniform guy for six patches, he write me asking for pens from my "day" job. He was doing a training session and I bought a handful. They were bright colors and had squeezy rubber balls for clickers. I intended to donate them for the service but he scarfed them all for himself. There were about ten.
They went fast, people liked them, some people (females included) said they reminded them of boob-ies. One person even made a comment about them being used for female 'relief' needs, and that was a girl.
I found the link for them:

At the office I asked the owner if she had anymore. There was one left. It was red. So I have at least one to give him. I might have more in my apartment and there may be one or two in the company vehicles. I have yet to check.
Bottom line, I can give him at least one.
Is it wierd to ask for six patches ?
I would even pay for them.
Is it wierd to send them ? Would a letter just suffice ? Or less patches ?
SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK, how would YOU thank another agency that helped one of your close family memebers ?
I just brewed a cup of this no-name expresso from a Mexican bodega, I gotta run to CVS and get a Skor bar to accompany it.
You all have your topic.
