A couple of good EMS news items this week for the MedicCast News.  First of all, an alarming story out of Japan about a trauma patient who died after waiting an hour while 14 hospitals refused to treat him.  Plus a look at another great CPR training initiative from Connecticut and a letter to the editor from British Columbia, Canada on why paramedics there need better pay.
