Randy Dockery So why not discharge 1 ml of NS and add 1 ml of 1:10,000 back to the saline syringe? Would have less waste of resources.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to our colleagues in the Hungarian Ambulance Service. Today, shortly after 6 am, a fatal ambulance car crash happened in Szolnok County. The ambulance car of Kunhegyes ambulance station was dispatched to a call. On the way, the car drifted and fell into the trench next to the road. A paramedic was killed in the crash and the driver of the ambulance seriously injured.

The UK newspaper "The Guardian" continues its series of essays from those on the frontlines of the NHS: "Everyone was working as hard as they could, but I wasn’t sure that the patient I was about to move out of the resuscitation room would get the care they needed. Who would check that essential medication was given? Who would ensure their pain was managed? Who would see if they were deteriorating? Who was looking after the ever-growing queue in the corridor?"
