When this series came out in 2009, I was hooked. Trauma was a series that was going to be the next big thing in medical drama. The series involves an elite group of paramedics, E.M.T.'s, and flight medic's. The group works in conjunction with San Francisco Hospital. Going to some of the worst accidents in San Francisco. Cliff Curtis( Rabbit) is a flight medic; who went though his own traumatic experience a year ago. After surviving a helicopter crash he is back; and has a new partner, Marisa( Aimee Garcia). She is ex-military and at first doesn't mix well with Rabbit. They are Angel Rescue, coming to the scene in moments of crisis. Working with Angel Rescue is Capt. Basra's( Steven Jones), team. The team consists of partner's Medic Boone(Derek Luke) and E.M.T. Tyler(Kevin Rankin). The top paramedic of the group is Nancy Carnahan( Anastasia Griffith). She has a medical degree, but for some reason, stays a paramedic. This aggravates Dr. Jo Saviano( Jamey Sheridan), who thinks she is wasting talent by not taking the next step. Which is becoming an M.D. at San Fransisco City Hospital. Nancy is also the wild one of the bunch and has the repetition. She plays the field, including a lot of her co-workers. She is one with a heart, taking Glenn(Taylor Kinny-Chicago Fire) under her wing. He is the new guy, he's nervous, makes mistakes; and no one seems to like. Capt. Basra knows Nancy will teach him well, and not make mince-meat out of him. Eventually the others warm up to him; and he is a good sport about being a probie.
This show has excitement from beginning to end. This show is realistic to a point. Some of the resuscitation efforts( C.P.R. looks weak). A few times it looks like they could be doing it right. Like they taught us in school arms locked, not rocking, a straight steady motion.
I have to say that the whole cast is great, Tyler and Rabbit will always be my favorites. I was shocked to find out after only one season the show was going to be canceled. Watching this show takes me back to the days when I belonged to my cities fire department. I was a fire explorer, we were first responders, we went on calls; a great learning experience I will never forget. I'm glad I did by the DVD of Trauma so I can also relieve one of the best shows of 2009.
