We have been watching Emergency on the METV channel.
It is pretty funny. Watching the paramedics not use gloves. Taking an EKG. Doing the same thing in every single case from a heart attack to a broken leg. It is just hilarious.
I never knew how much we have learned from Doctor shows on TV.
Plus Julie London.
How can you go wrong?

So, you're saying it's just like "Candy Stripers"? All the patients require the exact same treatment?
Surely there's a porn flick called "Organ Donors," right? I mean, there's just gotta be. But I can't google it right now cuz I'm at work.
I started watching it again when they put the seasons on Netflix streaming.
The pace is hilarious to me, so different than today's shows. There's these long moments where people just stand around. Couldn't have that these days.
Not just Julie London but also Bobby Troupe (the surgeon) who wrote the Nat King Cole song "Route 66". Married to Julie London.
The show, if I remember rightly, was actually a huge part in popularizing paramedics, with only a very few cities having them at the time. And the other firefighters on the squad were mostly off-duty LA County firemen. That's called realism!
You missed one of the response steps. You also have to do start an IV with D5W.
Bobby Troup and Julie London. He was a great jazz musician and she was a brilliant singer before both were hired to act on that TV series. Married to each other.
Very classy, both of them.
