As a veteran paramedic and a paramedic educator, I am disgusted by this show's terrible medical care and poor portrayal of my profession. Every single patient encounter in "Trauma" is done improperly. All of these medics and EMTs would lose their certification and even face jail time for the stunts they have pulled. While I certainly understand that NBC has to infuse a certain amount of extra drama into the show in order to attract viewers, they cannot sacrifice every last shred of realism to do so. Paramedics and EMTs in the US have been wanting to have a good EMS show on TV again, but after "Saved" and now "Trauma," my hopes aren't high.
