@wftoon No. If it was the “current” epidemic (?) would have been around for a very long time. Paramedics (at least in Australia) have a variety of analgesic options from paracetamol to ketamine. My feeling is opiates not used as often as they used to
Today has been an incredibly difficult one for all of us at @AmbulanceVic. We stand resolute with Monica and all our paramedics who have been assaulted and abused whilst simply out there doing their job #itsneverok#zerotolerance#noexcuses

@AckerJoe 2/2 It is time, however to recognise the significant role of Paramedicine in the provision of non-emergency health care, and the emergence of non-traditional services provided by Paramedics
The exchange of clinical information is critical in reducing risk & prioritising care for the trauma patient. In our latest podcast Dr Helen Stergiou talks through the Do's & Dont's of a trauma handover. @AlfredHealth@AmbulanceVic https://t.co/BvIo13IIKr
