Yes another fine show about a Paramedic.

It has:

Super Hero rescues.

Disregard for scene safety.

Unlawful entry of a personal residence as well as many other privately owned properties that are closed as crime scenes.

Lying on official reports and to official investigators.

Interfering with police investigations.

Contaminating crime scenes and then telling the detective to lie about it.

Someone sent me a link to this a couple of days ago, I haven't watched it, but I looked up some info on it.

The lead character can read peoples thoughts, so I'm guessing this is supposed to be more of a supernatural guy-goes-above-and-beyond-to-save-the-world type show rather than any sort of accurate representation of the profession.

The only believable part was that he could hear people's thoughts.

What about when they dove into the tipped over car without securing it. Then got stuck.

Easy to point out the flaws in the show, and I must admit it's not my thing, but I must play devils advocate here. How many people would really watch a show about the stuff we actually do?

Probably just those who want to train at a medic mill for an exciting career playing with the lights and sirens and score with pretty doctors or nurses.

Isn't that why everyone joined EMS? That's why I did. Woohoo lights and sirens.
