I’m your host, Jamie Davis the Podmedic and I’d like to welcome you to this week’s show. In this week’s EMS news items we look at concerning EMS medication shortages seen in some ambulance systems around the country.<br> Then in this week’s special tip and interview segment from EMS World Expo in the Physio-Control podcast studio back in Nashville. Dr. Peter Antevy comes by the booth to talk with Chris Montera of the EMS Garage and I about the power of our podcasts in covering and promoting his product the Handtevy Pediatric Medication Dosing System. How did being featured on our shows almost two years ago help him get the word out?
