Is there any possibility that Australia would allow volunteers to administer drugs this dangerous, no matter how effective those drugs were? Not to be rude—I volunteer for an emergency service too.



Asprin, paracetamol, glucose, adrenaline (epinephrine) auto-injectors, salbutamol, glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), methoxyflurane, ondansetron, cophenylcaine (lidocaine + phenylephrine) - that's our volunteer drugs in WA. We're hoping that eventually ketamine will be added. I don't see tPA ever being on that list.
