Yes, and I was ignored. I brought it up as early as January, and I’ve previously brought it up. I’ve even been written up for taking “too long to clean the truck” before and refusing to put a dirty one in service without proper cleaning. I’ve always been a bit of a clean freak and safety guy. But “gloves are enough”.
Then if you knew the risk of transmission of disease and the relatively poor availability of medical PPE for EMS why did you stay in the field and not transition to another area of practice or another field?
I am going out on a limb and assuming that you are fairly young and healthy. Are you not concerned that you will suicide, get involved in a fatal MVC, or become seriously injured by a member of the public? Those are probably far more likely for most people in EMS.
