Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Could we have an improvised EMS uniform contest in Austin at conference this year? Or at least a category in the photo contest for uniform extremes? Sounds like fun to me!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 In So. Texas-----WAY SOUTH !!! I once saw an intermediate where two belts in an " X " (u know what I mean) I remember one service where the medics carried so much stuff around their waists that we wondered how they were able to stand up. I knew one who carried, among other things a .40 semiautomatic (he was a cop too), a laryngoscope handle and several blades, some ET tubes, various flashlights, handcuffs, pepper spray, a pouch of dressings and stuff, and god knows what else. Now me, I carry nothing but some scissors in one pants pocket. However, I am not against snappy uniforms. I am waiting for the uniform folks to come out with the Idi Amin model. I think I like that better than the Augusto Pinochet model. I have really would like a sash and sword, but swords tend to get in the way when doing CPR, so I guess I'll give that up in favor of citation cords, epaulets, and lots of medals. I need some help with the hat, though. I'm thinking of the Napoleon style hat, but some have suggested a general's hat with lots of gold scrambled eggs. Which is more impressive? All suggestions welcomed. His Royal Asholiness. Eugene Gandy, Esq. E.(Gene) Gandy POB 1651 Albany, TX 76430 wegandy1938@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he from Austin? No, I've never carried an EMS belt with any sort of weapon (other than a small can of pepper spray which was strictly for animals). I have, however, used " rescue gloves " to extricate my unconscious patient from an overprotective lapdop with tiny, sharp teeth. If'n I'm'a gonna carry a gun, it's'a gonna be a 45. And I've never owned a laryngoscope, though I've often thought it would be nice to have if I ever get a kit for the car... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 , A person of your august stature ought to have a uniform befitting your lofty status in life. I know that as simple Paramedic, I certainly am entitled to one. Therefore, please vote for one of the following so that we may approach your county commissioners with a proposal to supply you with a suitable uniform. And while you're at it see if they'll pop for mine. I choose #1. 1. The Idi Amin model, double breasted tunic with braid, dual citation cords, epaulets, gold stars (5), and service medals with ribbons. Sash and sword are optional for parades only. Pants, judpurs with gold side stripes, boots, over the knee black patent leather with silver spurs. Hat, choose from the Napoleonic model, the Pinochet model, the Buckingham Palace Guard, or the French Foreigh Legion. 2. The modified Texas Cowboy model, Wrangler jeans, a white starched Wrangler shirt, a black hat with 6 inch brim and horsehair band, knee high boots and personalized spurs, and batwing chaps with the monogram of the service in inlays. Silk wild rag, stampede string, and tooled leather wrist cuffs. Twin ..45 sixguns and Texas Ranger belts optional. 3. The GI Joe/SWAT model, cammo with AK-47, low slung .45 Glock, gas mask, 13 round load magazines (4), Baretta .22 in ankle holster, dagger, Laryngoscope with and Mac blades, 2.5 - 9.0 ET tubes in pants pockets, Liter bag of NS, 10, 12, and 14 gauge catheters, helmet. 4. The Geek model, wrinkled black polyester pants, shortsleeved white wash and wear shirt partially hanging out of pants, with narrow black tie, plastic pocket protector with pen, highlighters, penlight, and ECG calipres, black rimmed glasses, copy of Turing's Treatise on Enigma in pants pocket. Please choose one of the above. Feel free to mix and match so long as the central idea of appropriate recognition of EMS status is maintained.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Well, I can see the Bobby hats if they have some gold leaf put on them, but I certainly wouldn't want to wear one that's plain. There's plenty of room for lots of gold leaf, and with that and a nice feather, I think they might work.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I would respectfully submit option #5, the " split personality " model for those of us affiliated with a fire department. It consists of bunker pants and boots, a fire/EMS agency t-shirt, a walkie-talkie fastened to the bunker pants somehow, and a stethoscope dangling around the neck. EMS certification ID card and/or EMS fanny pack are optional. The ranking officer on the fire truck is required to carry an aluminum clipboard, though. -Wes Ogilvie In a message dated 8/6/2005 11:14:16 PM Central Daylight Time, wegandy1938@... writes: , A person of your august stature ought to have a uniform befitting your lofty status in life.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 You're forgetting the most important thing. We need one of those over-the-shoulder cape thingies. You know...the kind that drapes over one shoulder, to the back, and looks really spiffy when the wind blows. - > I remember one service where the medics carried so much stuff around their > waists that we wondered how they were able to stand up. > > I knew one who carried, among other things a .40 semiautomatic (he was a cop > too), a laryngoscope handle and several blades, some ET tubes, various > flashlights, handcuffs, pepper spray, a pouch of dressings and stuff, and god knows > what else. > > Now me, I carry nothing but some scissors in one pants pocket. > > However, I am not against snappy uniforms.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 To go along with the spandex, and the big " S " on yer chest? As for me, I need the " Wonder Woman " outfit. I like the gold rope. Although, would that be considered a " weapon " as per the previous discussions? HA HA HA Kilts would be ... er... entertaining... and you could keep your shears, penlight, etc. in your sporran. ;-) -Meris :-) --- wegandy1938@... wrote: > AAIEE!

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 I like the spandex suit idea for some of you (that gold rope might be considered kinky to some I am sure)....... however, I wouldn't be caught dead in one, and would drop dead if I saw others of you in one......

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Don, Don, Don -- how wrong you are. You can't wear a bandolero with the EMS full dress uniform. Now, the EMS bandolero can be worn with the " Che Guevera EMS Revolutionary " uniform, so long as there's also a beret... -Wes Re: EMS Uniforms Gene - Get yourself some bandeleros with lots of elastic loops. Actually many years ago there was an ER doc who wore one- had all of his scissors, misc tools, lights, etc. on it. Looked silly but had functionality. The doc's name was Rife and so it was dubbed the " Rife life belt " . You don't need no stinkin' sash - you just need a 'lero. Don >>> wegandy1938@... 8/5/2005 9:58:30 PM >>> I remember one service where the medics carried so much stuff around their waists that we wondered how they were able to stand up. I knew one who carried, among other things a .40 semiautomatic (he was a cop too), a laryngoscope handle and several blades, some ET tubes, various flashlights, handcuffs, pepper spray, a pouch of dressings and stuff, and god knows what else. Now me, I carry nothing but some scissors in one pants pocket. However, I am not against snappy uniforms. I am waiting for the uniform folks to come out with the Idi Amin model. I think I like that better than the Augusto Pinochet model. I have really would like a sash and sword, but swords tend to get in the way when doing CPR, so I guess I'll give that up in favor of citation cords, epaulets, and lots of medals. I need some help with the hat, though. I'm thinking of the Napoleon style hat, but some have suggested a general's hat with lots of gold scrambled eggs. Which is more impressive?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Of course Wes.....but I was thinking about the dress version of the bandolero. >>> ExLngHrn@... 8/8/2005 8:40:28 AM >>> Don, Don, Don -- how wrong you are.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Che would tell us that a dress uniform is nothing but a bourgeois affectation. Hence, no dress bandolier for the EMS revolutionary. Fight the man, power to the people! <G> -Wes Re: EMS Uniforms Gene - Get yourself some bandeleros with lots of elastic loops.
