I dont want to be that person but It'd be great if we could have a little formality back. Paramedics wearing suits is cool. I do like the new green uniforms, though.
Good video!
The 60s paramedic uniform looks very much like the uniform used by the RAF
Fat medics. They've been eating a lot.
I remember the big strike because Maggie Thatcher wanted paramedics. Not ambulance drivers, because that's what they were, not the HIGHLY skilled professionals they are now.
I don't support the strike, and the news was all sympathetic. Thank god she stood upto them, look what we've got now, freaking amazing.
No matter what the uniform, theyβre amazing people ππππ
Luckily the fat size has remained the same πππ
I required to wear a tie during my training. First day, dropped it in an unmentionable liquid, while I was wearing it. Nope. Tried a bolo tie, my instructor was furious. Hated it. Called it unprofessional. It still had long pieces, I wasnβt happy either. Still hated the idea of a tie.
I went to a tuxedo shop, bought the largest silk bowtie they had. Cost a ridiculous amount. I kept it reverently clean and well shaped. My instructor hated it. Staff snickered. βHe made me wear a tie. This is a tie. This is a NICE tie. He has nothing to complain about.β
Subsequent classes were not required to wear a tie.
Always wanted An Paramedic Boilersuit
I wore the 1990's lol πππ
From America it's really interesting to see the Uniforms
1960s they look like a pilot ππ
Where is the jumper and shiny trousers from early 00's ?
Nah i love my current one
cop, pilot and EMT
can you do a video about ambulances changes over the years Pleas?
I can tell you as my father was one of the first registered paramedics (1979-2015) that he didnβt wear one of these. Smart white shirt, clip-on black tie and NATO jumperβ¦.
This is brilliant . β€β€
First much smarter that the crap worn today
The first one looks like a police officer.
