Hell, I am helping a new county paid agency get started up. Its the first time I've helped with anything of the like, and am really just doing alot of leg-work for the Emergancy Services Cordinator...
What i am looking for is a cheap or free way to send out mass pages or texts to cell phones...
I didn't avoid it, that equipment is used out of country (no agency, operating at "level of compatancy")
while my agency does not yet do field suturing as standing orders, it is part of the equipment that is used in other instances (but I have done it under medical control for a laceration to...
the bag is used for several things, along with my using it in place of agency jump-kits, it gets used on disaster relief and medical missions.
what does cert. level have to do with tourniquets for hemorrage control?
also, I havent got around to updating my status from basic.
try looking at galls for bags and premade kits.....then find it somewhere else cheaper.......savelifes.com (I think) has good prices on alot of stuff, Chinook has some cool toys, and E-bay is awesome if you play it right
be careful about carrying meds, being in more of a "stationed" roll you...
assorted bandages, trauma pads, tape, shears,splints (frack pack, and sam splints. forget the band-aids (unless it's a kid tell them to suck-it up) cravats......and a GOOD bag to hold it....
find out what kind of stunts they are doing (if any for specialty equipment) water gel makes a good...
I have my rescue squad plates, and my officer's plate mounted under my front plate. LED grille lights, and a revolving dash light (it's old but it was my dad's when he joined at 16, and he gave in to me at 16 when I joined and will probly stay in my car long after I stop doing EMS, unless I have...
I'm not trying to make it easier to make them lazy, as much as making it easier....one of the people in charge before me (i just took over) was primarily a private transport medic and was more infavor of doing everything on the truck reguradless....for this reason the ET kit is being kept in one...
I want to get away from multiple bags, and an area near here tried the separate O2 caddy with a side pouch that they threw a bp cuff, stethoscope, gluecometer and some of the other little things they used on every call....prob;em was they got in the habit of only taking this in instead of the...
um, just with the pockets open, and how the O2 tank fits in....how the main compartment is divided, and what fits in the other pockets (expecally the ones on the to flap....if they ain't full try to shove something in so I can see what would fit.... anything else you could think of to help me...
I can get over it having the name on it so much if it helps us out....
I e-mailed the company, but is their anyway you could e-mail me pics of it if I PM you my e-mail address....(you don't have to dump it unless you fill like it), but I just need a better idea about how it looks, and how...
I'm the Lieutenant of my agency incharge of trucks and supplies, and have a small issue I can use some help in. A few agencies that suround us have been getting burned becouse they keep sliming down their jumpkits and dont have the proper supplies to run the call when they go in. We haven't done...
ours carry full jump kits and a Zoll 1600...
If the LEO is being dispatched to a medical problem then they should be trained and equiped to handle it at lest till EMS arrive....and quite frankly any public safty officer that isn't certified in CPR and ready to preform first aid is pointless...
All our county cops carry BLS jumpkits in their trunks.....but even if you are in an area that doesn't have any real first aid supplies, but you are required to be trained in CPR, and have a policy that says you need a mask....then how hard is it to provide a simple pocket face mask (even the...
okay, mini-rant....
why do people complain and sue when LEO's and even individual people use a taser or any less leathal alternative and it just so happens to kill someone that was braking the law in the first place, would they rather have been shot with a real gun and know that they would be...
I originaly bought 3, one was distroyed and another was tossed after a call that I would rather forget....so until next march (when we order agian, after the current EMT class is over) I only have the one.
and when you or the county pays for an extra uniform, I will be more than glad to keep one in my car...but I have to buy all my stuff, can't aford to have many extras.
I don't like doing but we didn't have a choice...when we are recalled we have to check in with-in a certain amount of time...and it didn't allow time to go to our homes.
