Medical Kiosks Make New Ad Medium

In September Emergency Medical Systems will place 600 kiosks across the Midwest which, connected by satellite to paramedics as well as local EMS, will offer health related videos and an automatic defibrillator. In theory, a person with heart attack symptoms could receive walk-up emergency care at one of these stations. Of course, there will be advertising in the kiosks so while you are having your heart attack you can look at an artery clogging Burger King ad.
