Condor EMT Pouch…Paramedic 24 hr shift kit

[admin]

Before I became supervisor, I was on a 24 hr truck. We don’t stay at the station…we “post”, that is, for 24 hours we live in the ambulance, 24 on and 48 off. I put together a little pack of all the goodies that I could possibly need while inthe field…more for personal use than for work (I have a few extra work related items…ie: shears, constricting band, hemostat, thermometer, gloves, etc. Most of the stuff, however is like my own little OTC medicine cabinet.
This pouch goes in my EDC backpack, and holds quite a bit of junk.

Most of the stuff is headache meds, antacids, drink mixes, eye drops, etc…

and two ball bearings. If you can guess why I have these, I’ll buy you a monkey.

I don’t get into this kit that often any more since I became supervisor and am off the 24’s…but I ALWAYS have it with me in my backpack. Looks like overkill on things like the eyedrops, yes…but if I get something in my eyes, I become neurotic…rubbing and picking until my eye becomes infected, so it’s kinda my thing.
