For too long Sedgwick County EMS Medical Director Dr. John Gallagher has been driving response times of Sedgwick County EMS paramedics and EMTs up. His incompetence has led to the turmoil and death of several innocent civilians, and put the lives of many more at risk.

Through intimidation and general incompetence John Gallagher has made it clear that he is unfit to serve the people of Sedgwick county as medical director, and we, the citizens of Sedgwick county DEMAND his immediate resignation or termination. 

We can no longer sit idly by as our paramedics and EMTs are worked into the ground under his watch, every week we lose critical members of the EMS team that leave not only because pay is horrific, but due to fear of misdirection and punishment from the incompetent John Gallagher. Below, you will find resources to educate yourselves on Gallagher's wrongdoings, to help better understand why we lose excellent paramedics and EMTs in waves, faster than they can be hired. 

You will constantly see the topic get changed in the comment sections of these articles away from Gallagher's incompetence and onto the subject of pay. I have talked to several of the now ex-employees of Sedgwick county EMS, they do not leave because of pay, they understood the abysmal pay when they signed up for this job. What they did not sign up for, however, was to be led astray by an evil John Gallagher, who has called for the murder of a 31 year old suicide victim by instructing the paramedics and EMTs on duty to sit idly by as a human being lay on the floor, fighting through lethal doses of pain killers that paramedics administered under the orders of John Gallagher, only to have their ability to practice threatened for breaching protocol, while John Gallagher suffers no repercussions. As Sedgwick county citizens, we can no longer sit idly by and allow this treatment for the amazing EMS team that clock into these 12 hour shifts to protect us and assure our safety. 

If things do not change, we will have more needless casualties as the EMS team will continue to resign, and work for other counties where the medical director is competent, and sound in their moral decisions.
