This week is EMS Week. Usually, if you’re in EMS; this means some type of free meal, water bottle, bag, or other gift that symbolizes their respective agencies, hospitals, and healthcare systems thanking them for their service. Since the entry of COVID-19, EMS has noticed a difference. People wave. And they were right.

EMTs are not just “ambulance drivers,” although that’s certainly a critical part of their occupation. For EMTs and patients, an ambulance is more than transportation to the hospital. Many EMTs work on a 911 emergency response ambulance. Many fire departments require that all of their firefighters also be EMTs.

Some states and programs also require EMT students to complete 24 to 48 hours of clinical time working in an emergency room and/or ambulance under the supervision of a certified EMT, paramedic, or registered nurse. Some ambulance agencies provide paramedic training in house. This process can take one to several weeks.

Since the 1970s there have been ambulance shows on television that portray the cool, slick and unshakeable medic. By the time we get to fulfil that dream, for most people at least, of stepping into an ambulance and calling it our office, making it feel like home, we don’t want to look like the dreaded newbie.

Each state has their own challenges, as well as guidelines and laws, to practicing as an EMT, although with the National Registry becoming the norm, EMS will soon have similar protocols throughout the nation. In fact, in 1927, the town of Belmar was one of the the first established volunteer ambulance services in the nation.

I started riding on an ambulance as soon as I could… in the same county as Dad. Pretty much everyone in EMS in the county knew who he was. Older EMTs, paramedics, and even some of the police officers and firefighters. It’s hard being a “legacy” in the world of EMS. is going to happen. I’m going to need time as well.

The object of this list is to inform new and veteran emergency workers of the multitude of EMS friendly tools that are on the market. Having a personal tool, instead of only using the tools on the ambulance, allows the first responder to quickly access patients with tools that may not be on the rig.

Most paramedics, police officers, firefighters, first responders, community midwives, district nurses, health visitors, mobile GPs, vets, social workers and other health or public service providers like dogs. They will already have heard it long before they heard the ambulance pull up. A lot of us love them. Nowadays, I am more direct.
