Emergency doctors deployed at Australia Day music festivals | Sky News AustraliaMedical teams are on standby for three music festivals in New South Wales this Australia Day long weekend. \n\nThe Electric Gardens, the Rolling Loud and the Hardcore Till I Die festivals will have an increased medical presence. \n\nThere will be three critical care doctors, a critical care paramedic and four emergency nurses working at each event. \n\nFollowing the deaths of six young people at Australian music festivals in the past six months, the events are being considered high risk for drug overdoses and dehydration. \n\n\n\n\n Have any Police given this simple little 'brainfart' a thought. If a festival-goer enters an area for a concert, he wont be drug tested, but he could be searched though. But if he drives his car in, there's a good chance he will be tested and searched.!!!!
