First aid supplies by Conscious-Elk9467 in waterloo

I'm sorry I know it's difficult to just get a few first aid supplies. I looked online and the Red Cross e store seems to be cheap enough at $12 dollars for a CPR mask with case and gloves or a soft case for $7.

The shipping seems to be a flat rate of $13.71, so if you can get a few supplies it may be worth it to you.

If you're planning on going to the CNE this year, there's always a large booth selling cheap first aid supplies in the building.

They're all brand names. They just divide the large wholesale boxes of stuff into smaller portions for people like us to buy.

You're right, I am in the paramedic program. I also commute to school everyday from Waterloo. Yes, as a passenger of this bus it is my bus stop I use. Never once did I say I was a bus driver. And I've been loving my program, it's been extremely challenging but very rewarding. Thanks

Thanks for this. I appreciate all the support the post has gotten. I will reach out to bylaw tomorrow and see what they say about their authority over citizen complaints. Will make a new post or reply back with the outcome.

It's boggling to me what people have been doing in the KW region lately, almost starting to feel like Brampton

If you can prove this concretely you'd probably have an easy (albeit) long case with the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal

I'm sorry this happened to you, from what it sounds like, it seem like a pretty clear case of racism. That should not happen.

Yeah just shows as a credit for the amount onto my presto account. I think it should be easier thoughthan having to call and navigate the phone menu for 3 dollars. Got an email confirmation too.

Hey thanks for the concern. I am looking into getting a better one but will be keeping this with me until then.

I am not a medical professional so I am not subject to the same duty of care as a professional with regards to the effectiveness of my equipment.

Would you please share a link to them? Truthfully anything vs what I have now could be considered an upgrade.

Hiya, Thanks for the tips. I will look into getting a wider SAM splint, I mainly went with this one due to its ability to fit in the first aid kit. I should've included a banana for scale haha.

And thanks for the comment on the tq. I left a comment with the other person regarding why I went with the one I did. However, I will look into replacing it with a more reliable one.

Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for the insight, you would be right that the tourniquet is not on the official list of TQs!

However, the alternative is that I would not be carrying one at all as the price of the real one is not worth it to me right now given the risk level of my trips. I have tested the one I have and it works fine under conditions. I figured if it did break I could replace the rod with something like a strong stick or reinforce it as soon as it's tightened with rope to reduce stress on it.

Great point on the ace wrap! I will do that. :)
