Sorry for the delay friends, but I'm sure it was worth the wait (hopefully)... This time round I spoke with Jace Mullen, paramedic and all round great guy based in Colorado, Denver.   We intended to discuss the differences between UK and USA practice but ended up chatting more about the similarities! Topics included EMS roles, education and training, specialties, referral and discharge, medications, the law, and (of course) cardiac arrest.   Feedback welcome as always,   -- Silas
