NBC New Show "Trauma" - Live Premiere

I so badly want to not like this show. I want to tell you the CPR is bad, or the Captain Versed Medic was terrible. But...it was not as bad as it could have been. I would like to point out that many shows are not based in reality. CSI, Law and Order, and Rescue Me all come to mind as "mindless" entertainment. That is what we hope for TV to be. Entertainment. Want education? then watch PBS.

What have shows like CSI done for Law Enforcement and crime scene investigators? What has Rescue Me done for recruiting at NYFD?

Any publicity is good publicity and EMS needs some right now. Jamie Davis, Greg Friese and I interviewed Actress Aimee Garcia who plays helicopter pilot Maria Benez right after the premiere on Monday night. We also talked with Sebastian Wong from SFFD. Want to know what they said? Listen to the show and find out.

But yes It is about time for some public knowledge that there is more public services than just Police and Fire. ( the public knows about the people who keep you safe and the ones who can pull you from a burning building now let the public get introduced to the people who save your life ).; ▶ Reply to This
