In CA all bars are closed. Since the ambulance identifies as a bar does that mean I can go home?

Sorry in Texas, it's a necessary business. They're delivering alcohol.

You’re a transfer EMT. Get good rawhide gloves and maybe a second pair with a credible biological barrier in case AMR decides not to buy enough for both of you lol.

Credible biological barrier...?

Credible biological barrier...?

Places like Galls carry gloves that have a bloodborne pathogen barrier in them for use by LEO's when searching a suspect. I had some for a while and they weren't bad since they were cut resistant but the dexterity left something to be desired.

Credible biological barrier...?

Some synthetic gloves, usually the tactical ones, include a washable thick nitrile barrier. They’re oriented towards police.

Another note. I'm now thicc. I'm 118.5 lbs with all my gear

Last time I was on a scale I was 111.

I can donate blood now. Finally...

Watch out, world

No offense, but what gear does a transfer EMT require?

Require, I mean not much. But I do want gloves. We still use stair chairs and backboards and stuff.

I meant the close to 9 pounds of gear you carry on your person.

With that mindset, you’ll end up cross contaminating everything and everyone around you. Just ask your partner for assistance with lifting, if it’s too difficult for you. On a side note - not a single female partner I ever worked with, had these issues.

I also would like to know how this is a woman thing.

Clothes, jacket, wallet (large and full of stuff), keys, belt, boots, watch, pocket items (lighter, hairtie, e.t.c), gloves, nametags, shears, stethoscope, penlight.

Getting torn up and raw hands, of course. To the extent that someone would consider gloves. What exactly is so confusing about it...

Have male partners that you've worked with had these issues?

So what? Protect my hands

You gonna look down on proper lifting because I don't want back pain, too?

 

[DragonClaw]

Heck man, revoke my man card already... oooh wait.

 

[Qulevrius]

Why would they ?

I find it curious how defensive you both became, all of the sudden. Care to share with the rest of us ?

The only thing I’m looking down on, is your Ricky Rescuesque attitude. Shears, penlight, steth, the rest, really ? Keep your wallet in the backpack and your keys (especially your keys) at the station, keep the shears strapped onto the O2 bottle and the steth wrapped up in the cuff, on the gurney. The heck you need a penlight on a transfer run anyway...

I'm being assertive because you made it a gender thing unnecessarily. If none of your partners have had this issue, why do you feel the need to mention your female partners in particular?

Wouldn't have guess thats nearly 9 pounds. I was praying that you weren't one of those "batman belt" EMT's, you have restored my faith.

Because - surprisingly - females tend to have a gentler skin than us brutish apes. Not everything is a gender issue, unless you’re in a habit of making it into one.

Clothes alone are like 2.5 pounds on average, which is third of the 7.5 pounds in question.
