‘Tis the season of being busy, busy, busy. Luckily I still find time to cruise the Feedreader at night and offer you some posts from the EMS Blogosphere that I found to be threatening the industry, sound advice, and a geek mouthful and then some:

• KevinMD has a powerful post concerning serving jail time for medical mistakes. I can’t help but think that if this practice is allowed to continue the inherent threat of doing “hard time” for making a mistake, albeit a grave one, will thin the ranks and in turn raise the cost of healthcare even more than it has by the uninsured as there will be a lack of personnel willing to take the risk associated with the profession.
