Updated corrections to 2021 Maine EMS Protocols

Thanks to some keen eyes, there have been a few formatting issues that led to some missing info in the final December 1, 2021 Maine EMS Protocols.  We have corrected these on the full electronic pdf, as well as submitted the updates to the Maine EMS Protocol app developer (and you should manually update the app to ensure the latest version is available to you).  The corrections are listed below, as well as on our protocol page (along with the full protocols and other resources).
