I learned today that EMS skills taught me how to be really resourceful. I mean how many times out in the field have you needed something but didn't have it and had to make do with what you had? Well today I was out shopping and I locked my keys in the car. Im thinking "great what am I going to do now." See I drive an older car (1985 Jimmy GMC) and I usually leave my window down a little bit to let air in. Luckily I left it down just enough to fit something like a clothes hanger through it. Well I didn't have a clothes hanger I only had my purse. So I dug through my purse and found my trauma shears. So I took my shoe string from my boots I had on and attached it to my trauma shears. I slid the trauma shears through the window and on to the driver side seat where I left my keys. My keys are on a big key chain so it wasn't too hard to pick them up with the shears and slide them back through the window so I could let myself in my vehicle. So a few weird looks from on-lookers later I was able to get into my vehicle. See trauma shears come in handy.
Anyone else have a story like this??
