A Closer Look By Timothy R. Thompson
With many people traveling this time of year, I thought it would be a good idea to take a closer look at some of the dirtier stuff involved.

IC: Two Words
We don’t let those little things upset us, it’s just not worth the headache.

What A Ride
The year was 1977 and I had just graduated from High School. I had been hanging around the firehouse since I was fifteen years old with hopes of joining when I turned sixteen. Unfortunately to join at sixteen I needed parental consent and it just so happens that they (my Mother and Father) would not do it. But that was okay, I was young and could wait.

Food for thought: "Do we really know"
You will go into homes that are so immaculate the residents have you take off your shoes. Then on the other end you will go into homes and actually see the walls move (if you know what I mean).

Clean it up !!!!
This month we are going to address the issue of housekeeping, something that many providers seem to forget about. And I don’t just mean keeping your duty station clean, but everything around you.

Practice what you are taught
This month I feel the need to stray away from all of the icky, sticky infection control stuff and talk about something just as important.

The ''Red Badge of Honor''
Close your eyes and take yourself back in time, the time when EMS was still a baby, the Gage and DeSoto generation. There are many of us "old timers" left, we have had our fun, we have been there done that and have the bloody trousers to prove it. Do you see where I am heading with this. I am talking about the day's before gloves, or at least before we used them properly.

What is "Infection Control'?
  Why would we want to take chances when there is so much bad stuff out there? I?m sure we all know of at least one person in our line of work that will not utilize BSI or standard precautions for any reason.
