As a former medic, I absolutely love the authenticity of the show. I love seeing actual medical scenes, true injuries (not dramatized). I'm watching this when it is already 20 years old, but this show is addictive and I need so much more than the episodes offered. I am fascinated that the state police operate the life flight service. I wanted to dislike Dr Scalia. I loved him from the end of the first episode. The first balck, female trauma surgeon in the US works (ed?) at Shock Trauma. Synthetic blood substitute. Medic call ins. Volume of cases. This is fascinating. You see good outcomes and bad outcomes. If you want authentic ER care, watch this!
