I would bet the trauma surgeon's class A uniform would be very similar to those

of say a CEO of a corporation, a senator, even the president of the United

States: A nice suit, shirt, and tie...and if it is even more formal...how about

a tuxedo?

Re: Re: National Class A Uniform

I haven't waded in on this, but now I guess I will.

The idea of a Class A Uniform for EMS based upon a fire department suit is

not only silly, it is not needed, and few if any folks who do not already

work

for fire departments and already have a Class A suit will buy it.

Nobody else will buy it, and I cannot think of a single private service that

would pay $500 for a suit for each medic to be worn on maybe one occasion

every three years.

Why did NAEMT come out with this? You need to know Mr. Bouvier, the

President. That's all I intend to say.

What's the Class A uniform for a board certified trauma surgeon? An ACEP

physician? A family practice PA? A CEN nurse?

Reminds me of those folks who wear their uniforms to the Texas EMS

Conference, with merit badges dripping from each sleeve, the chest, and on

their gimmie

caps, with eleven pairs of hemostats, a laryngoscope, six ET tubes, a bunch

of

14 gauge caths, and a flashlight and box of gloves around their waist.

According to USA Today last Friday, EMS has received only 4% of the money

allotted by Congress for bioterrorism preparedness. Now we've got NAEMT

proposing that we all go out and spend $500 for a Class A uniform.

Go figure. Spend $0.37 on a stamp and write your Congressman about the

failure of EMS to receive its share of homeland security funding and save

your

$500 for a Class A uniform. You'll have a lot more impact.

Just my opinion.

Mr. Grady,

a/k/a Gene Gandy, Resident Cynic, Class A, with scrambled eggs on the hat,

epaulets, 5 gold stars on each shoulder, medals for each and every alphabet

course, stripes on the sleeve for years as a Paramedic, more stripes on

each

sleeve for each year as an educator, a sunburst medal for being a Lawyer,

Sash,

Sword, and Napoleanic Over-The-Knee Boots with Platinum spurs.

We wear the spurs that are made from a Mexican 50 Paso coin that way they don't

get hung-up anything seems to work rather well.
