Since I started at this new service a month ago (or almost a month) I've used atleast one or two a week. Also find me an article with definitive proof of intubation or a NPA penetrating into the brain because I haven't seen any yet.

it'll be called MEDICS... and then people get to see the BS calls we get occasionally... and the stuff we get to put up with.

... hey... maybe it'll raise our pay? gain the viewers sympathy?

Already existed... and it was called "Paramedics" and it was on TLC.

good show... only lasted a short while though...

It was a great show, probably the reason I even knew what a paramedic was in the fourth grade(no jokes please). I haven't seen that in a while, is it still aired on DiscoveryHealth?(which I just realized I have again)

I saw this on some previews when I went to the movies this weekend. I almost thought it was a movie, but its a series with high profile actors. Here is a synopsis.

Trauma isn't the first NBC series that featured first responders -- a successful series called Third Watch aired from 1999-2005. However, unlike the previous series, Trauma concentrates solely on paramedics.

I thought it was funny as heck to watch, you could just about predict what is going to happen. But Personally I think they are over using the MCI concept one a week we are lucky if we get on in 10 years.

All I can think of when I look at the blonde is that she probably needs a lift assist on every other call.

Well actually I have never seen her lift anyone in the show... you might have a point there. But they do say that dynamite comes in small packages!

Trouble comes in small packages. Medics come in large, plump packages that can deadlift 400 with bit of adrenaline and good footing.

Touche my friend Touche. But I have some friends that are small like that and they can lift better than some of the men.

their Technical Advisor need to be shot. period. they're claiming that they had 1st hand experience and yet... they stage feet away from a shooting with no PD on scene>? somehow... i think if that was the case, i think they'd be dead right now... much like the show need to be

and go into a scene like that without PD was just stupid, but how many young eager and gung ho EMT's freshout of school will end up hurt becasuse they saw it on TV?
