Ep 2 – Sex And EMT Pants

[audio:02_Sex_and_EMT_Pants.mp3] (48:35)
This is episode 2 of Confessions of an EMS Newbie where we talk about Love, Sex, Relationships, and the EMT as well as Anatomy, Physiology, and those cool EMT Pants. The show begins with a discussion of Ron getting ready for clinicals and the trials of getting all his shots. We learn how Kelly does 200 mile, one way critical care transports, and why Hurricane Katrina is to blame.

Through number of comments Ron gets the idea is is easier to get laid in EMS. Kelly gives him the real scoop. And while EMS may get you married, it is hard being married to someone else in medicine and it hard being married to someone outside of it. Ron is already beginning to see a separation where he doesn’t want to tell his wife stories from EMS to protect her.

Talking from his book, Kelly explains how ambulances are staged, or positioned and what an ambulance station is like. And don’t get him started on System Status Management, but Ron did.

In the gear you really need, it is time for Ron to get his uniform, so we talk boots and pants. Do EMT’s really use those cool trauma shear straps? What is the biggest give away of a sparky new EMT? And what is in Kelly’s pockets?

  1. Great blog/podcast so far–lots of useful information for someone who will be taking an EMT class (ie. myself). Keep up the good work!

  3. I wear Bates with side zips and gore-tex. (2268 i believe) they also make a non gore-tex version. Have been a very good boot and much more comfortable than more expensive brands,

  5. I wear Magnums Stealth Force 8.0 with Composite Toe/Ion Mask (all liquids literally roll off)/Side Zip.  After writing a review about the boot, they made me an official field tester so now i get to test boots and keep them
