Ambulance driver training hurt by copyright
Adrian sez, "This is a frequently updated blog by a ambulance driver in London, England, Who discovered during a training session that he wasn't recieving the most up-to date information because copyright restrictions prevented his the ambulance service from making additions or changes to the document in question. It's anecdotal support for a oft discussed topic on this blog."
However there is a problem - the Guidelines book we should be getting is version 3.0, but the book we are actually getting is version 2.2. The reason for this? Copyright. It seems that the London Ambulance Service wants to change a few bits to make it more relevant to London. But because the organization that wrote it maintains the copyright - it can't be changed for us.Link (Thanks, Adrian!)
