Review of Trauma

BUT, do not expect this show to be anything like being on the rigs. I understand you need excitement in a show to retain interest, but it is so out in fantasy land, from the procedures EMTs vs paramedics are allowed to do, to the insane pretend driving, to the shallow one dimensional characters. This show, if it would have been realistic might have lasted more than one season. No certified provider one would ever be allowed to work in the field practicing outside their scope of practice, and it seems as if every call (or at least one each episode) was completely outside the realm of reason. Additionally, no matter how friendly you are with the staff, you never call a Dr. by their first name.

It was nice to see Kevin Tighe (DeSoto from Emergency!) get a showing in one episode.
