(from Academic Emergency Medicine, Official Journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, Jan 8, 2002, via Wiley Online Library)

Based on the paper, do you think the past is a predictor of the future. Should EMTs be allowed to administer a broader range of medications? Post your thoughts as well as responding to at least two other classmates's posts.
