hey i heard a little rumour that sja were no longer accepting SA paramedics. Is this true?

^
Being that they are so short on the road I find that had to believe (its never been the case in the past)... but with SJA anythings possible

You should have run them off the road into a ditch or something.

Any sja guys in gals know if there will be any new changes to their scheduled drugs list to catch up with the rest of the world or is it standing as it is.How often do they reasses drugs that are to be carried in an ambulance. I find it interesting that morphine and atropine are not carried in the buses along with certain anti-arrythmics

hmm unsure about that - but I do hear that the carrying of Methoxyflurane won't be happening for very long. It will soon be phased out as it does affect people's health who inhale it - Not sure the indepth info - but Im sure someone will fill in the gaps here.

Sorry, maybe I misworded it - But I never said methoxy was used on Cardiac patients.. if i did - i apologise.

Thats a good one PFO i cant recall seeing anything that says otherwise unless it does now.

Anyone got SJA protocol book ?

Anyone got SJA protocol book ?[/quote] considering it was banned in the US how many years ago and is now banned in vetinary hospitals as well in the US, makes you wonder why we still use it?
