Different uniforms

[medicgirl05]

I'm curious if this is something others have noticed or if it is maybe just in my area?

I work for a 911 service in a rural area, 30 minute minimum transport time, and my protocols are pretty lenient. I am able to use my judgement on calls and if I have a question my medical director is available 24/7. Ive been working here 5 years and have developed respect with ER staff in the area. However, I recently started working part-time with a transfer service and the same people that I laugh and joke with wearing my 911 uniform wil barely acknowledge me in my transfer uniform. I at first convinved myself that they didn't recognize me but that is simply not the case. I've heard just as many bad things about transfer medics as I've herad about 911 medics so I don't understand why the uniform matters.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!
