Skid Marks the Movie?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Okay, wait.... movies.... aren't they for entertainment????? When I turn on the TV or go to a theatre, I'm not looking for accuracy of the depiction of a particular profession. I'm going to be entertained. Generally when I see that bent elbow, Baywatch-CPR I think its funny, part of the entertainment value. Anyone who is looking at Hollywood to be an accurate depiction of life in any profession is missing the point.

LOL, Got to factor in the bent elbows in the CPR training video.

Actually, the White Papers was introduced about 12 years before MJS came out.

I have a sense humor, but I also have a respect for my profession as well. Compare MJS in perspective, was that they did not protray Paramedics. As well, compare sitcom shows such as Scrubs, St. Elsewhere, even the old Emergency, has and had humorous satire.

It is not that it cannot be done, rather that it is done with taste and respect to our career and profession. IT really is not that hard, rather script writers and producers, choose not to.
