I've been scouring the internet for a few weeks looking up all the information I can find about King County Medic 1. It looks like a great place to work, however one thing that came up was the topic of Medical Direction. In their recruitment video (I can't post a link as this is my first post on this forum), one of the medics mentions that they "talk directly with the doc" and "make their case" then perform their treatment. I've seen several people post that the Seattle Medic One group must OK all treatment with a physician before performing it, including IV's unless the patient is unstable and delaying care would cause death. I have not been able to find any information on their site, nor have I found definitive information from any of the numerous forum boards I looked at in regards to medical direction throughout the rest of King County.
I decided to post this in the hopes that someone here actually works for Medic One and can give me more information. Are you required to contact online medical control on every patient prior to treatment?
Thank-you for any information!
