Aussie EMS Taxes, Ambo Joy Ride, and Virginia Tech Revisit

Download media Play on iPhone

This week in EMS news, I look at a story about an Australian EMS levy (tax) that is causing some concerns about adequate coverage for the money spent.

Also, a look at a story out of Colorado where a hospital patient was discharged and jumped into an idling ambulance outside of the ER.  He took it for a 100 mile an hour joy ride before he was stopped and taken back into custody.

And, finally, I look at the Virginia Tech massacre, one year later.  What have we learned and what has really changed?  Listen to the show to hear my take on the anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings.
