That is why you never use the word "shocked"!

They are defibrilated or cardioverted. Two different things!

Actually, that's why we say "synchronized" and "un-synchronized" cardioversion :p

Who said anything about truth? I said I took them seriously.

Especially Nick. Hello, Legends of the Hidden Temple! How could you NOT take Team Barracuda seriously?

Awful show

This show makes ER shine in my opinion. This far out of proportion I wonder how the ratings are doing. Just my thoughts

I'll just say my peace.

Trauma is a show that is trying to fill a niche that was left open when Third Watch ended in 2005 but Rescue Me was unable to fully articulate on without Police/EMS being involved. It is Third Watch meets The OC, and it sucks because of it. It is so over-the-top for shock value and to make it mainstream, it portrays us so inaccurately, that the producer should be shot.

ER was a good show. Would have been better if they spent a little less time on who was inter-relating with who's genitals, and a little more on anatomy and pharmacology. But still, a good show. Should have ended a lot sooner though, they didn't know when to have it gracefully phase out. Much like "Friends".

Law and Order is good because it, like ER, gives you a basic exposure to the multiple areas of criminal procedure law understandable to mainstream viewers, if not completely accurate. However, I applaud them for never stooping so low as to have a love story involved.

I believe Third Watch was one of the greatest shows to focus on first responders since "Emergency!" was cancelled. Sure, it wasn't always accurate (especially to NYC), and it was occasionally over-the-top, because it seemed all the worst incidents happened to the same people in a short period of time. However, when it comes to the actual CULTURE of first responders, the first 3 seasons were very well constructed, I believe. It covered the fun parts of Police/Fire/EMS, the annoying parts, the boring parts. It delved into our personal lives.. It showed how our jobs can affect our lifestyles, and used "new" members to introduce the layperson to the job through the eyes of those rookies.

I actually had a girlfriend ask me questions about what we do, what it's like, etc. By watching select episodes of the first 3 seasons, I was able to expose her to elements of our culture and explain "how it is", without having to just have her become a FF/EMT and find out.

I just watch the OLD..".EMERGENCY" on the internet ,Its cheesy and old but I bet some of the stunts are even done by the actors, and they have the long weew weew siren response scenes with that old dodge. The nurse at rampart hospital is wearing a uniform that you only can get from a lingerie website nowa days LOL (MAIL ORDER) .The kids can watch cause there's no cussing or sex and they can grow up thinking EMS is cool,like I did. The acting is equally bad and the helicopter in trauma is way cooler but...You guys are right about the realism of a show has to be way off to be worth watching. I have driven a 18 wheeler for years and any show about them is way off BUT... who wants to watch a bored driver drive for 10 to 18 or 24 hours on a run only stopping to whiz on a off ramp before a 2 hour nap.Delivering at a customer only to be treated like trash for not getting there sooner. definitely not BJ and the bear. LOL

I think the helicopter pilot is just too over the top.They needed to have let him die with the rest of the crew on that day that has them all traumatized
Even If im bored i can find better ways to entertain myself. (surf eBay for haunted Toast) LOL :)

I suppose...

that next someone's gonna tell us that "CHiPS" wasn't a documentary...

"Trauma" is a really, really, bad show, but it's not bad because it isn't accurately portraying EMS, it's bad because it's poorly written, poorly acted, and poorly directed. It's not about EMS, it's about people who happen to work in EMS.

"Law and Order" isn't a good show because it accurately portrays the lives of police detectives and district attorneys in Manhattan, it's a good show despite all of the stuff that they get technically wrong because it's produced by a smart guy, it's written by some pretty damned good writers and it's had some very good actors who have worked on it throughout it's 20 year run.
