I just finished watching Trauma on NBC. I enjoyed the interactive chat session/podcast with Jamie Davis, Greg Friese, and others. During the evening we were joined by Aimee Garcia who plays Marisa the helicopter pilot.
I have to admit I missed some of the show. Between typing in the chatroom, twittering, updating the blog, firefox crashing 7 times, IE crashing twice, moving from pc to desktop it was a full assault on my brain.
The chat was fun though. We discussed all kinds of things related to what was going on during the show. We also hit on @paramedicdan a little.
The chatting did come up with some new nicknames…Rabbit is now Captain VERSED and Marisa is now MRSA.
I am sure there will be more.
Great job guys. I enjoyed chatting.
Now here is the question…anyone want to entertain a podcast or something else for the new show First In? I blogged about First In previously (read here). The show will premier September 30th at 10pm.
Let me know if anyone is interested. We might just do some other social network interaction. I am game for anything, although I am working that night.












I meant to do some type of live blogging thing about the show. It didn’t pan out the way I wanted it to. Partially because I couldn’t watch everything while writing, partly because the radio (I’m at work) was just going crazy and I was listening to see when I was going to get called out into one of the various messes (You know, helicopter crashes, tanker explosions, GI bleeds… normal stuff) and partly because I was on real disbelief that they made that code scene so hokey in the first ten minutes.
Glad to hear someone took up the job that I didn’t do so well.

Will you be posting a transcript of the chat session? Do you have that capability? I was unable to attend the session and wish I could have. I did watch the first half of the show, but have to hit the DVR to watch the rest of it later today.

The chat was awesome with EMS professionals from around the world joining in the fun. Also really cool that Aimee Garcia was listening to us commentate and reading the chat and still willing to talk about the show and her experience learning about EMS. I thought she was sincere and authentic. A recording of the post show podcast is already posted at http://emsgarage.com. It includes the interview with Aimee.
Regarding First In premiere, connect with Chris Montera. He and I discussed that show yesterday.

Finally a show for Paramedics, just like Reno 911, WONDERFULL! Thanks NBC for making us look like a bunch of idiots.

I’m kind of reserving judgement. It was bad, but I had low expectations. NBC might still be able to make something of it. My thoughts: http://bit.ly/15d032

This show gives no credit to EMS providers whatsoever. At this point, I give it one season. Make it real, or watch NBC bury another potentially decent show.
My 2 Cents…
