All that paramedics want is a nice thick pair of wool socks.
Hi all.
My boyfriend is about to start a paramedic program this fall (I hope he's not reading this thread!) and I would like to get him a gift that he will find useful and helpful during his training and beyond. After reading some of these threads, I'm starting to learn that a whole lot of gear isn't really necessary to carry around all the time, but all the same, is there any piece of equipment or any particular book or other resource that you think would be particularly helpful to a new paramedic?
Speed wipes, every one at sometime has been caught in the act of doody time and could use some speed wipes to hurry out of there and get on the ambulance. That and a nice overnight bag complete with stuff for shower time, including shower sandels.
I thought that was what 4x4's were forLOL Speed wipes. Thats a brilliant idea..
