tv show TRAUMA resurrected!

[exodus]

Medics/EMTs need to lighten up.

imo, The amount of whine in response to that show Trauma was as unbelievable as it was hilarious to see/read. Fire fighters mad because they weren't the central focus of the show. EMTs and Medics furious because they totally used an NRB instead of a cannula! MADNESS!

I thought the show was entertaining (albeit, after five episodes of any TV show it is usually hard for me to stop watching.) and took it for what it was. It never pretended to be a docudrama.

Watch any Cop Drama or CSI. You think police officers and forensic people get into shoot outs all the time? We should cancel all PD SHOWS! Write to the producers! Give me a break.

Personally, I think if I were to watch a drama it would be very boring if I had to sit and watch a Paragod ask an OPQRST on every pt.

It should be common sense that TV producers/writers/people have been taking fictitious liberties with almost every profession known to man since the inception of the boob toob. I think as a community, we need to get over ourselves. Until that happens we wont get anymore airtime haha.

+100000 I like these shows for entertainment, it's not a bleeping documentary!

Guy on the right looks like Rob Stark from Game of Thrones... going to have to see if I can find a dvd set of this.

It is him, its a comedy based show on the funny side of EMTs however some parts inaccurate its still funny.

I'm excited to watch this. Some decent actors are also in it, I could really careless about its inaccuracies.

I dont know about you guys but I do pericardiocentesis in the back of an ambulance all the time.

My teacher said he did one.

Not sure whether I believe him or not.

My teacher said he did one.

Not sure whether I believe him or not.

My instructor said he did one a few as well during the 80s or early 90s, this was confirmed by others. Whoa.

 

[NomadicMedic]

Still in protocols in Washington. Never did one though.

How many pericardiocentesis have you seen done?

How many crics have you done?

Pericardiocentesis was a popular procedure in the 1970s and 80s but it was removed from the protocols and textbooks for several reasons.

Just another tool in the bag, man.

For you guys that "sabe espanol" Mexico is going to run 13 episodes of a program called Paramedicos on channel 11. First episode is august 30.

I am sure James Bond, Mission Impossible and Burn Notice are accurate portrayals of spies and spy agencies.

I thought this topic was about trauma: life in the ER and I got so excited I peed a little, and then remembered there was that other show trauma and now I'm sad.

That show was great, Code Blue and Paramedics on TLC were awesome too.
