The emergency medical response in this show is inaccurate for L.A. County in that era. The standard response to a car accident (MVA) with injuries was an engine company and a rescue squad. (see the more realistic EMERGENCY! as an example). Paramedics ride a non-transport rescue squad utility body light truck to the scene and an ambulance service transports to the hospital, often with one paramedic in the back to care for the patient. In contrast, this episode has two EMT's arrive in a van ambulance that appears to be a fire department vehicle.
What did they well enough? The radio transmissions to the hospital were realistic, and they had the Biophone and drug box. Interestingly enough, the actors somewhat resemble the paramedic characters John Gage and Roy DeSoto from EMERGENCY! even in their mannerisms.
