Partners

I have had a woman partner before and I actually prefer it. Its a lot more comfortable for the female patient when helping the medics apply EKGs and doing detailed exams to have a woman there to do it. The lifting really isn't a problem for us. Our trucks and stretchers are built for one person, so I only really need someone to guide the stretcher and lift the wheels. When there is a really heavy patient, the second truck is only 2 min away; but for the most part, any patient which requires additional support needs the FD. As long as they can perform the assessments, do compressions, and know their stuff it can actually be a good thing for the patient.
 
I work with a woman partner on almost every call. The woman on our squad are all RN's and one is an ER RN , I am the only Medic on our sqaud. When we get toned out gender is not an issue only patient care. Thier is no Medic vs Rn or Rn vs Medic turf battles we just work togather for the best outcome for the patient. Lifting isn't a problem either as we have stryker electric cots. I have seen some small women lift pretty heavy people with the right technique. It is also nice at times to have a male and female crew when dealing patients with sensitive issue's. I guess to sum it all up I don't have a problem whatsoever working with a female partner.
 
Currently flying solo on the response vehicle, barring a few people who join up for some shifts (Paramedix, as he did not have a vehicle for a few months and then some 3rd year students).

In my fair share of ambo, i worked with many female partners. I respect you as a female, and have no objections working with a female, as long as the job at hand gets done, and such was the case!! i must say though that i did work with a female who was batting for the otherside, and a nicety was that she always pointed the hot females long before i could spot them. We are still good friends up 'till today!!
 
My current partner is female and we get along great.

One of my funnest partners was lesbian, after discussing sexual practises, I realized I am one too.....
