Time to be a contrairian...

OK all of the criticism was 100% accurate but come on what do we expect? This is "drama", entertainment to the unwashed masses. This show is dealing with a highly technical profession. I challenge you out there to find me a show about another profession that is accurate.

Rescue Me? Cop Shows? Oh wait how about military shows? Alias that was realistic right? How about The Unit? As I have stated in earlier posts I have a BS in Nuclear Engineering. I have never seen radiation or Nuclear Power realistically portrayed.

I for one am glad to see EMS portrayed at all performing procedures. Anything helps people understand that we don't just drive the ambo. Granted I wish it was technically more accurate but if that's what you want that's why there is Discovery Health.

I'm sorry if I'm rambling, I'm in the middle of a 48.

I have one thing to say and one thing only ( yeah another inaccuracy)

Call me blind, but did I see that guy deliver a baby without any sterile precautions. Come on, I don't think I saw him with gloves on!

I didn't get to see it, was sent on a call in another district. However, my crew did and a crew from another station did. They liked it, said it was a good drama and were along the lines you are (greatful they showed us doing something other then just driving the ambulance).

One should note that most people aren't really going to judge us by simply what they see. If anything they learn to hate characters, not the job they perform. I would rather them show us as normal people then heros, we all know that there are more then enough people in this industry with a God complex.

A lot of great replies.

I for one thought the story lines were ok but the procedures were awful.

Amazing that you defibrillate a v-tach patient and bam she comes back from Asystole.

Yee ha
