This week's look at the midweek EMS news starts off with a look at a slew of ambulance involved MVAs this week. One accident involved a unit that crossed the center line and struck a pickup truck head on.

Finally, a MedicCast kudos to Georgia paramedic Dori Wood on her winning of the Region V medal of valor.  Dori descended into a 40 foot well to treat and help extricate a woman who had fallen down into the well.
