You want a bad emt movie to watch...just check out Ambulance Girl!...Horrible...Emergency was made, before I was born, and it is soooo much better!!

I didn't see the movie, but I did read this book and didn't think it was all that bad. Yes, the author wrote about going through EMT class and some of the runs she had been on, but it really wasn't "about" EMS. It was about her journey out of depression and how she found something that allowed her to help herself as much, if not more, than the people she attended to in her community.

How did you manage that? The shows aren't even on DVD yet (that I can find)

Off topic: one of the big reasons for that is the ridiculous licensing that they need to deal with because of the different music used on the show!

That's why we may never see "WKRP in Cincinnatti" on DVD - the blood sucking ^%$#holes at the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America - I think they're nothing but money grubbing sleezeballs) want way too much $$ for the music!

LOL...totally PG-ish...I'd wear that camera. You'd get plenty of drunk homeless guys feeling me up, city cops standing back with arms folded watching as I pin someone to my stretcher with a knee to the throat so my partner can tie'em up (personally, I think they are checking out my rear-end, but they haven't admitted to that yet), generally at least once per shift someone bleeds all over the back of my truck -

Yeah, We totally need an EMTPrincess cam. :D

You can get them on ebay. Quality isn't always the same as DVD's, but i love that show.

You used to be able to, anyways. I looked and could only find the first season. It cost me $145.00 to buy them, and I'd be willing to make you a copy for that, if you're really interested. They're quite rare, and 36 DVD's worth.

Something you want to share with the rest of the class??? :P

I am telling you, a camera on me would not be any fun...I am not very photogenic anyway...

Now, it it caught the naked guy who managed to get himself tazed yesterday...that would be fun!
 
I do remember the TV show "paramedics" and I use to have it on tape but I dont know what happened to it. They were episodes taped in New Orleans,Las Vegas,and Detroit. I loved that tv show.
I guess you can also watch ER.

Third Watch is on DVD?

I've not been able to find it.

It was very much like ER! - The first few seasons were good... and then it slowly went down the drain, because there is only so much "cool" stuff you can do.

Up north, eh?
 
Emergency! is absoluty FREAKIN AWSOME. James O. Page did all he could to assure accuracy in everything. Ever notice that they put their helmets on before they respond? That was LACoFD policy then. Even sadder thing? How little has EMS care changed since the 1970's?

I've in the middle of watching Season 3 on DVD right now.... I just saw them get the "New" engine! ;)

Mother, Jugs, and Speed is a FUN movie, espicially when watched with a bunch of other whackers.

Bringing out the Dead is the same... funny to watch with other whackers.

I never saw Saved.





Paramedics - is still on... at 3am... good for midnight shift. They really can't film in the US anymore, becuase most places don't want to open Pandora's Box regarding priviacy issues... they were filming in Canada for a while.

What is sad is that most of the EMS still today is behind in times than those represented in the 70's... At least they had ECG, intubation, IV and med.'s.. just think of all the places that wished they could be that advanced ?

iirc, they had telemetry on emergency, something i made a case for in ekg class.....while i accepted that ems (in general) could not discern certain rythmic intricacies, the method to allow it done remotely was being shown to the public on a 30 year old tv reruns

of course, i'm still waiting for flying cars also....

I guess you never have seen the TLC "Paramedics", or "Trauma Center".. etc.. which is much better the old Rescue 911 (which I have been on them) .. not that glamorous.. trust me. Thank goodness "Turd Watch.. I mean Third Watch" or "Saved" (I guess you did not see those either) was cancelled. As well you have never heard of "Bringing out the Dead", with Nicholas Cage?... You must be real young..

I wish I could find Paramedics or trauma Center. I have TLC yet I cant find that show played on that network anytime or anywhere.

Must feel weird to be a paramedic and then watch a show that is drastically mimicing our daily lives yet you all do it everyday without the soundtrack and episodic nature. lol I love it, I cant wait to start training

One of the funniest movies out there that I've seen is Mother Juggs and Speed!

http://imdb.com/title/tt0074923/

And the movie 'Paramedics' was pretty good too.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0093702/

Also the show 'Saved' on TNT is pretty good too, I've become a fan of it. A new season is coming out I believe in April or May.

How cool would it be though to have a soundtrack playing in every day life.
