The show that started it all!

Emergency spawned a generation of EMTs and Paramedics and I'm one of then. Became a paramedic in 1984 and made it a career. You don't get rich, but it's one hell of a profession. I remember how we used to see how far we could flip the caps off the prefilleds just like Johnny and Roy. Sure we laugh now how kind of hokey the show is. But at the time, it was cutting edge. For EMS Week this year, I won Season 1 and 2 DVD Box set. Twas thrilled. Our young pups in the unit can't believe the time we used to have to call for orders for all of our treatments. I remember sending Lead II telemetry(from a Lifepac 5) to our command hospitals. Today, 2006, we now send full 12 lead telemetry to the receiving facility. What is old, is new again!
