I recently joined my local First Aid Squad in Town. Been riding as a First Responder and Driver since Mid Sept. I start EMT Course this Monday. I am 50 year Old Male and not doing this as a Profession. I am enjoying this however have a problem with smells ( Odors) always have. Vomit. Fecal, GI Bleeding. I gag and cannot stop. Once the Gag Reflex kicks in, I have a hard time controlling it. I know it is in my head, however is there a way to control it? Been giving advice from Squad Members, we carry Vicks on Board each Rig. I also carry a Chap Stick Hollowed Out and packed with Vicks. Is this the best soluction? any others? I would hate to be the Active EMT on a call and not be able to carry out my Duties. Thanks Rich
