Im In Va. I saw South Carolina was gonna sell it too but im still kind of iffy about it tho, i mean its a good resource to have like EMS wise but for your everyday junkie to have a way out in case like PD comes or there friend OD's seems like its kind of there way of skipping punishment...
So rumor has it that Narcaine is gonna be available over the counter at stores sometime here soon. I dont know if this is completely true or just rumor through the grapevine, but if it is true what are ya'lls thoughts on it?
The reason being with alot of our psych patients theres always an altercation between the patient and the deputy, and you"d be surprised how easy tho"s keys can come off
When our paramedic is getting ready to poke for the IV he always yells out to the driver and anyone else in the back " did anyone ever watch the IV instruction video?" or " This is gonna hurt you more than me" haha
At my agency we dont carry handcuff keys on us but we do have one on every apparatus just in case the deputy loses his or her's key but if someone is restrained in the back of the box then there is always law enforcement on board.
