  • This is 100% a painter who’s worked with this person/company before. In the contract I’m betting it says “before we paint, remove all utilities and covers from the wall, anything left will be painted”

    The first six times they did the work, stuff was left up, and they spent an hour removing everything before they started. This time, they said fuck it. We told you to take it down, this is what you’re getting now.





  • Current EMT here. Not as much training as you have, but maybe that helps for this.

    Seems like there’s a few things on there that require a bit of skill to use that a regular person wouldn’t have. Not sure a decompression kit, or an NPA/OPA would be very useful for an average person.

    I think you’re over packing on a few things. Some of these, like Hemostatic gauze is good, but it expires. 4-6 packs of something that’s kinda expensive, but goes bad in a few years, doesn’t really make a lot of sense. We’re not even required to stock that much on our ambulance. Same for the chest seals. I would think 1-2 of each should be fine.

    I would add 1-2 sam splints, triangle bandages, and coban/self sticking tape, eye wash, and Narcan if you can get it easily/cheaply.
