There was a recent 'small' article in the news here in SA about our reduced road toll and hospital admissions.

Ambulance officers when attending a car accident and have to transfer a person to hospital (in critical condition) must plug them into a respirator and heart monitor (excuse me I don't have a medical background) to keep them 'alive'.
The policy came down from the State government that no ambo is to have a person die on the scene or in transport, but when they get to the hospital and the patient dies there it is counted as a death by complications in hospital and not a road toll casualty. So now the politicians can say they are reducing road toll.

How screwed up is that?!?!
