This week's midweek EMS news for EMTs and Paramedics takes a look at several stories featuring paramedics in the news. First, one paramedic has developed a website that features a way for people to test their CPR skills online and eventually with a lot less time and expense than the 4 hour courses offered now.

Next, a segment about Columbus, Ohio discussion on doing away with ALS ambulance care altogether in an effort to save the city 6.5 million dollars of the city budget.

Finally, a look at the recent FDA warning against 14 drug companies whose internet ads don't contain the necessary risk warnings for consumers.
