I'm just gonna list some stuff I'd like to see added and changed, speaking someone in medschool.
Naloxone: A counter to opioid based drugs. It blocks off the receptor site that opiates attach to. This stops a current opiate high and keeps the high from coming back for some time. Opiate dosages in large amounts will cause respiratory depression (barely any breathing) and eventually respiratory arrest (no breathing). If you give Naloxone to someone in either states, within 30 seconds, they will be back to normal completely. This is a drug carried by pretty much all ambulances throughout the US so it's a big drug.
Morphine: I'd like to see morphine cause respiratory depression and eventually arrest. As it is now you just pass out for some time and never have breathing issues.
Atropine: I'd like to see 1 or 2 auto-injectors added with the paramedic suits simply because many ambulances carry them in case of a terrorist attack. They're meant to protect the first responders so that they can do their job. Also, Atropine should stop heart problems at their current stage and keep it there for a while. It's great for cardiac stabilization.
Mannitol: This stuff will make your patient pee, a lot. I don't believe it currently does that right now.
Haloperidol: This also treats Tourette's syndrome. Make it not cause outbursts.
That's about it off the top of my head.
