How bureaucrats are hampering EMS
In my previous column , I lamented the sorry state of EMS continuing education, and laid part of the blame on hidebound regulatory agencies restricting types of continuing education or mandating outdated content.
They do no better when it comes to regulating practice or formulating protocols.
I'll confess that much of my disdain of government regulation stems from my libertarian sensibilities, but the fact remains that government moves quickly only when it comes to collecting your taxes or adding new ones. The rest of the time, it moves with the blistering speed of a geriatric sloth with a serious Xanax habit.
