Comments on: NBC’s Trauma showing signs of life… http://www.mediccast.com/blog/2009/11/19/nbcs-trauma-showing-signs-of-life/ A blog for the MedicCast Podcast for EMT's, Paramedics and EMS Providers Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:03:32 -0500 hourly 1 By: Dave Konig http://www.mediccast.com/blog/2009/11/19/nbcs-trauma-showing-signs-of-life/#comment-69445 Dave Konig Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:34:29 +0000 http://www.mediccast.com/blog/?p=2680#comment-69445 I read about NBC pulling Trauma back from the dead this morning, and I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand I am glad that NBC is willing to invest more into a drama about the profession. The episodes have in my opinion gotten better since that first pilot, and whether that's due to the writers or the actors is really very debatable. Is it fantastic? No. Could it be fantastic? Yes. I think it just needs some time to grow. On the other hand, it shows exactly how little EMS Organizations, such as NAEMT, influence both the public and corporations. If they can't influence NBC to cancel one of their most costly shows to produce with mediocre ratings, how much influence do they really have on effecting change for the benefit of EMS. It's very mixed news indeed. I read about NBC pulling Trauma back from the dead this morning, and I have mixed feelings about it.

I couldn't agree more! CoEMS is changing the world. We'll drag the public along kicking and screaming while we're at it and they can have their drama, too!
