Kind of like when you were a kid and shone the flashlight on the palm of your had to illuminate everything that’s in your hand (who am I kidding, you do this every time you get a new light). But I’ve found that turning out the light in the room, placing the Surefire Sidekick on the patients arm at the highest setting (300 lumens), will make their veins stand out. I don’t have the money to go out and get me one of those neat “vein finders” that have hit the market in recent years. When you get a patient that is a “hard stick”, there is no bone drilling that you can do, no external jugulars… So, I do what any other fireman would do get creative. One thing that you should understand, is that when patients come in for these studies and need an IV, it is WAY different than what would be considered “acceptable” while working on the rescue at the FD.
I’m a glorified paramedic that starts IV’s for CT and MRI contrast studies. The idea to share what is becoming one of my favorite ways to use the Surefire Sidekick came to me the other day when I was working my second job. All too often though, when I use my Surefire Sidekick, I don’t give a second thought about how it was used. I can go days without employing this great little light, but when I need, it is within arms reach. It sits on my keychain waiting to be used. No matter what light I pick out to carry for the day, I can say that I have had the Surefire Sidekick with me at ALL times since I purchased it on Black Friday last year (2017). I’m one of those guys that always has a flashlight on me. There is no doubt that you will find article upon article on why the need exists to carry a dependable flashlight one that you will actually carry and not leave at home.
