Pair Emt
Legally, one pair of rubber gloves or two?
1. If you were to come upon an accident and you have two or more persons injured (bleeding other fluids), are you legally required to change your gloves?
2. what if you only have 1 pair of gloves?
3. if you only have 1 pair of gloves and still help both persons will insurance companies drop you? (as in if you get sued, will insurance company's back you?)
4. what if you only have one pair of gloves and one person with (say) HIV, and you only help one of the people (based only on having one pair of gloves, and not because of the disease)?
5. what if you only have one pair of gloves and one person with (say) HIV, and you help Both persons?
*this is if you make the decision to only use one pair of gloves and each scenario happens: LEGALLY could you be sued and loose?
**what if you are also an EMT basic/ ski patrol (versus being just a “good Samaritan”)?
Legally speaking, a civilian does not have a prescribed duty to act at an accident scene, in the USA. They do have the obligation to seek help for the victims -- this could be calling 911.
The whole point of gloves is to protect the person wearing them. Your first priority is to help yourself, not to deal with cross contamination issues. If you have 2 pairs of gloves, go for it -- if you dont -- then just keep the one pair on. Also bear in mind, that with 2 patients, you're not going to be able to treat them sequentially. You may have to go back and forth between Pt 1 and Pt 2... at this point, having only 2 pairs wouldn't really be enough, would it?
It should be said, that ANYONE can be sued, for ANYTHING. Whether they win or not, is for a judge and/or jury to decide. In the civilian's case, they have the Good Samaritan act to protect them. As long as you perform only up to the level you are trained, and do not act in a reckless or foolish manner -- you're covered.
An on duty EMT, however, is NOT covered by the Good Samaritan Act. Because you are a paid rescuer, you are expected to perform your duties to the level you are trained and within the Standard of Care.
Standard of Care is what is important here with your gloves-issue. How many EMT's in your profession would stock their ambulance/jump-bag/patrol-bag/fanny pack with only 1 or 2 pairs of gloves? If you're the minority in this case, and had no real, viable reason for being under-supplied, then you could be held responsible, because you are outside the Standard of Care.
When working, it is your responsibility to maintain your equipment and supplies in a condition as such to meet the demands of your job.
Hope that helps

Roller Derby Girls Helping the Community
In spite of a strong wind that threatened to carry our check-in tents away, we helped the YWCA staff and volunteers set up the shoe station, where the male participants would be able to choose women’s shoes with the right color, style, and fit for their walk. From SJSU athletes to San Jose firefighters, policemen and EMTs, these walkers had SVRG girls help them select mules, pumps, and stilettos in their sizes. We also outfitted them with event tees, in case their flashy heels didn’t give them away as YWCA supporters.
When it came time for the walk to begin, we packed up our skates and moved out to the half-mile point. Our YWCA coordinators paired us perfectly with our next role: offering water and band-aids to the participants. After all, who knows more about blisters than rollergirls? We handed out water to the walkers, some striding and some stumbling, and cheered them on as they passed us.
Once the crowd passed our station, we packed up and followed the high-heeled walkers to the California Theater in downtown San José, where participants and sponsors were rewarded with prizes for fundraising and refreshments.
Overall it was a great afternoon—a fun and lighthearted way to raise community awareness for some very serious issues. Next year, we hope to cheer on our own SVRG male referees as they complete their first mile in our shoes.
If you missed our event but would still like to make a donation to the YWCA of Silicon Valley or learn more about their programs, please visit their website at:

Silicon Valley Roller Girls (SVRG) is an all-female flat track roller derby league established in 2007 and represents what is known as Silicon Valley, California. SVRG aims to bring an additional exciting sport to the communities of Silicon Valley and allows women from all walks of life a chance to show their athleticism, intelligence, individuality, inner beauty and strength by participating in the subculture phenomenon of roller derby. SVRG is entirely skater-owned and run. Its dedicated members represent Silicon Valley’s mothers, professionals and students. SVRG encourages competition between other leagues and strives to represent Silicon Valley with sportsmanship and excitement.
About the Author
We aim to empower our skaters to not only build their skating ability through challenging training and teamwork but also to be involved the operation of the league. We also dedicate ourselves and our efforts to reaching out and bettering the Silicon Valley by participating in community service.
2008 marks SVRG's first season of bouting against other leagues. This year, in addition to increasing our numbers and creating 2 or 3 distinct teams of our own, we hope to achieve our accreditation from WFTDA, the women's flat track derby association.
