They are! But when I can't see them, I cringe a little inside. I already hate needles, but I HATE fishing. Shudder
Oh, I've never thought so much about stretcher manoeuvrability in a house. I was trained in occupational first aid level 3 (I think it might just be a British Columbia thing, but essentially I could work out in the mining camps and really remote areas where EMS is at least 30 minutes away if they were to drive without slowing), so I only really thought about it in a workplace setting. Also used to work in a stadium, so plenty of space. The hardest part was getting the patient out of the stands...
However, I have had times where I've woken up sweating with my heart jumping out of my chest and thinking I was going to die. From there, it was thoughts of how fast my heart was, was I going to pass out, "where's my phone", "Will my eyes focus long enough and can my fingers press the buttons," "can I make it down the stairs and at least unlock the door".
I also always back in to spots as well! Picked that up from just being a woman (quick escape if being chased), from driving the ambulance (again, safety thing). Attended a house once (as a health inspection) and walked by a machete just casually laying on the grass. Had my car pointed down the road, doors unlocked.
