I think it looks like the Super Troopers of EMS. Props the the Super Troopers people, good movie, reminds me of the local cops. and you think I'm just being sarcastic We need a Backdraft, EMS style. That had to be one of the greatest firefighter movies of all time.

Better Public Education of the EMS system is needed. Modern EMS System. Don't tell them where we came from, past is the past. EMS folks need to know where we were 40 years ago, the vast majority of the public is too stupid to grasp that.

We haven't had really any good movies made in our favor. If you're not a cop or a firefighter, you're an ambulance driver to Hollywood. Look at all the other movies about EMS.. Alcohol, drugs, unprofessional-ism.. Mother, Jugs & Speed; Broken Vessels and Bringing Out The Dead.. They were very entertaining, I love MJ&S, but after those three, what could they possibly do to hurt our image? The people in EMS, now, do a good enough job of warping our image. Stealing meds, drunk driving, wreckless driving, stupid jokes that kill our partners, drug use on duty, sending live patients to the funeral home, I could go on...

How often does the public not understand what EMS is, and what we do, just from a lack of Public Education? Hollywood has their own altered view of EMS. IMO, they make movies about Emergency Services to be too dramatic and sugarcoated with heroism.

Hey you stole my post from a page back or we think alike :!: :evil: Notice I didn't say that great minds think alike because that would have gotten us both bashed. Your welcome.

Back on topic please...

Back on topic please...

Sorry. To get back on topic I hope this turns out to be a joke and not really a movie.

Poor acting, unoriginal script and situation, and full of antiquated cliches. This conclusion was formed from just watching the link from the first post.

Take care,
