You know you are an EMT/Paramedic when...

1) When you have used a cravat as a belt.
2) When you have used the end of a glove as a hair tie
^^ Very useful^^
3) When you find gloves in the dryer instead of money
4) When you hear a beeping/siren type of sounds and automatically go to grab your pager
5) When you get the address of a frequent flyer and automatically start filling out all the information and narrative on the call sheet
 
You know tou're an EMT / Medic

When you are excited to get a small first in bag for Valentines day and use it like a purse! Supplies and all!:blush:

Nope! I have a small medical bag and it holds my wallet, phone, keys, cravats, mask, gloves, and so on...

Unless you're Christian Grey, you don't need to be carrying around cravats. ;)

When a major factor in your decision to buy a particular vehicle is based on the fact that the back seat lays flat and you know that you may at some point need to utilize that functionality to take a nap. Making the decision based on the ability to carry more gear and/or extra uniforms etc applies as well

This was the reason I chose a hatchback over a sedan. I actually bought both sets of turnout gear and my dive equipment when I went car shopping

Ive used gloves for a dip cup cause i didn't have an empty bottle. And the glove ends work well for keeping the visor held up.
 
Sorry, but that's disgusting. Anyone who dips when they work with me gets one chance to spit it out, or they get to move right on to written discipline.

Spitting tobacco juice, either into a glove or spit cup or whatever... in the station or the medic unit is disgusting.
 
When you see a license plate on the car in front of you that says D50 25M and nearly pee yourself laughing.
 
Eh. Still wouldn't make me pee my pants laughing.

Now, if the plate read NO NARCAN, then I'd laugh. :)

I agree chew is disgusting! So are ciggerates.
 
When you see an ambulance running L&S with a police escort, and instantly feel sorry for the poor EMT in the drivers seat.
