Earlier this year, one of the large Canadian ambulance services declared they are slowing down to 15km/h / 10mph over the limit (max) as a safety precaution. I thought about it and wondered is the increased time will actually affect patient outcome. I suspect it won't.
Anyway, it's the following video that got me thinking about this again. What are the protocols like on your service? Thoughts about patient outcome? Does excessive speed just translate into more risk for patients, the public, and paramedics alike?
