Virginia Office of EMS Ambulance Inspection

So it is the time of year that we are getting our permit renewed. Looking through the state provided checklist, they are requiring that we have a First Aid kit on the unit.

Does anybody actually have a First Aid kit on their ambulance? It seems to me that the ambulance is a First Aid kit on wheels.

We count the jump bag as the first aid kit. I know of at least two agencies that stock aa drugs store first aid kit for this stupid purpose, but the bag is sufficient.

The state checklist shoud list what goes inside the bag, and that's generally your first-in bag ++... Consider your jump kit your "first line" supplies, and the truck stock your resupply.
