Usually actively dieing and before bed time. I can't count on both hands how many times I've take "oh that isn't a stemi" to the ER as a bls provider because the senior medic wanted to go back to bed. Or even new onset seizure. Or status asthma. Does "Turfing Tony" still work for ya?

The county medical director, who is the over all medical director, is fine with it as they are the kcmo medical director. The AMR or xyz ambulance medical director has to play by the county medical directors rules. And honestly they are just there to catch a paycheck and don't really provide over site.
I can honestly say that nothing that I have read here or online makes me want to uproot my family, move to the west coast, where the cost of living is 50% higher compared to my current location (and still higher than when I lived in Jersey), for a job that if it doesn't work out (for one reason or another), I'm totally screwed there because there are no comparable jobs in the area for me to work at.
Oh, and the whole class for 8 hours, than busy 12 hour clinical in the city, followed by another 8 hours of class firmly supports my decision. Well, than and I couldn't handle the pay cut.
So yeah, thanks for your two cents on this topic, and enjoy drinking the koolaid
You all know my take on KCM1. Its certainly not for everyone, but if you live in western Washington, it’s the place to be a medic.
If you don’t know any better or have been working for a lousy private, KCM1 is nirvana.
If you want to be a fairly autonomous single role medic, make a good salary and have a decent retirement, KCM1 is a good choice.
Are there other places? Yes. Is KCM1 still a good place to work? Yes. Let’s not all crap on the help wanted post. I’d think anyone who’s planning to test there will have done their due diligence.
So they are literally "mother-may-I" on everything....if it's not traumatic shock or CA, it's a medical control.
LAME.
Meanwhile, us Texan, New Mexicans, Pennsylvanianites, and even Californians are doing relevant things to help people without even thinking of asking permission in a lot of cases....

Good news! You won't be surprised! Most of the medics I knew would treat then call the doc to tell them what they did. Also note that PDF was for Seattle medic one who has a tighter leash.

Wow, you couldn't be more incorrect on this.. I have zero issues with people who are critical of my system. As I have and will continue to say, we are not perfect. But what is truly LAME is your incessant need to make negative statements with little to no bases. If you have a question, or are unsure about something ask! I have made it more then clear that I am happy to clarify anything to anyone to the best of my ability. But your disparaging comments are not only unwanted they are are unwarranted.
