With the recent rash of Multiple Casualty Incidents we talk about MCI’s that we have been involved in. Skip has a new toy it transports 14 patients at once. Very cool! Then our good friend Tom Reynolds talks about how a recent court decision in the UK has caused bloggers to run and stop blogging.

This week we discuss the Economic Crisis and how it is effecting EMS Service Delivery in the US and abroad. We even talk about….(socialized medicine) SHHHH.. We have a diverse and knowledgeable panel from the US, Canada and the UK. We need Health Care Reform and true change in all Health Care in the US. We pay 13%+ for Medicare and most of us don’t get a benefit from it. Would you be willing to pay $500 per month, $800 per month if you could get “free” health care.
