Word:AMBULANCE DRIVER
Definition:What the ignorant world call the people who train there asses off to help injured people. We Are EMT's and PARAMEDICS. Yes we do drive an ambulance, but are way more intelligent than people give credit. WE get abused, mistreated, spit on, cussed at, belittled on a daily basis, miss numerous hours of sleep and miss meals all so we can take you to the hospital, even if it is not truly an emergency and you just want a ride because you believe you will get seen faster. POLICE ARE THE FINEST, FIREFIGHTERS ARE THE BRAVEST AND EMS ARE THE FORGOTTEN.
Stolen from our lovely Anjel's facebook, but she stole it too so I don't feel so bad
Some will argue the "train our asses off" part, but I think it rings pretty true.
The medical radio system in Massachusetts. It's used to give entry notes, talk to medical control, and manage MCIs.
Lovely Anjel.. She is too freaking cute, such a beautiful girl.

Aww I love you guys.
Why are you manipulating the cot with gloves on?
Whats your method. gloves off to push cart then glove back on to continue patient care?
Ok guys I want to buy some heavy nitrtil gloves I can throw on when I think things might get tricky.The problem is I can find all kinds of black super tough gloves but no purple nitrile type gloves. I tend to come off as a little menacing putting on a pair of black gloves.
Does anyone have any suggestions for gloves that wont rip every time I lift the cot into the truck? Or help lift someone off the floor. I'd really like to find some nice heavy nitril ones that mach my standard issue.

It doesn't have pictures for all of them, but all of them on the first page should look very similar to ^^ above ^^.

^Thick purple nitrile gloves with a little gripping at the finger tip.^ I used them during my ride along with AMR in Santa Clara County, and then I bought them because my Clinical Tech and EMT classes in San Jose City College required us to wear and buy our own gloves.
We have a different one at work (we have several different types at work, but only one is purple nitrile, usually the other option is very thin light blue nitrile, and I've seen thin dark blue nitrile ones too, but I think our company stopped buying those ones cause I don't see them too often). I'll look on the box tomorrow to tell you what they are. They are similar, but no grip at the finger tips. Might be cheaper.
Like JPINFV said, needless cross contamination. It defeats the point of wearing the gloves. You touch the patient with the gloves, you touch the gurney with the gloves, you end up touching the gurney again with different pair of gloves with a different gurney, but the stuff that was on the gurney is still there. Or people will write the vital signs touching the clip board and pen with the gloves they just used to touch the patient, and then later touch the pen and clipboard without the gloves. Defeats the point of wearing gloves. Pretty much you should only have gloves on when you are touching the patient, or it's likely you're gonna touch them or stuff they've touched e.g. the sheets they are on if you do a sheet pull to transfer them to or from the gurney.
Ever considered double gloving up?
Those gloves I gave you a link to are still pretty good quality.
