I don't carry anything on my belt, because half the time I don't wear one...

- pen

- company pager

- Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2007 Classic shirt pocket edition (I get the new one every year, invaluable)

- gum, tums, imodium

- gloves

- department, provincial ID

- debit card, driver's licence, cash

- shears

- standing orders

I'm surprised a lot of people don't carry their standing orders or "protocols" with them. Yes, I have mine memorized, but sometimes it's good for a little clarification/finer points for rarer orders (pediatric analgesia for example) or rare disputes with partners.

Meh.

IM STILL STUCK ON THE FANNY PACK!!!

The only people that wear FANNY PACKs down here are the obnoxious yankee tourists polluting our beautiful beachs all summer long. The same tourists are usually wearing white socks with sandals. They all seemt to be named Gus or Madge (marge)

We wear Huge Bum Bags (Fanny Packs) things when we do bike patrol… But I wouldn’t wear it anywhere else.
