Cyan is a terrible color to pick.

Med Control being the worst job? Strange how they get paid more and are considered professionals [MICN or physican].

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Medical control might be the worst thing of your job if you don't have a good relationship with them or have a history of poor performance. Our medical control tends be progressive and allows us to do just about anything that we would like to do. In fact, there are only a few things that we have to call for in the first place. In the past two years or so I can only recall one incident where I had a medical control request denied, and that was primarily because we went to a hospital we don't go to frequently.

I'm always amazed at how... different... my county's system is. All of the ALS units are assigned a base hospital (there are 6 in my county) and the county communications department is supposed to try to connect them to their base hospital regardless of the recieving facility. The MICN at the base hospital calls the facility for them. They do call the hospital directly if the patient meets the no- [base hospital] contact criteria.
