Mark's got it about right. Although paramedics in a lot of counties can now deliver life saving thrombolysis to heart attack patients and also use morphine as the analgesia of choice.

Technicians are also gaining more and more skills such as intra-muscular injections for anaphylactic shock and, in some counties, rectal diazepam for epileptics.
