From Emergency! Season 5, Episode 22: kid eats raw dough I hope that people will be more aware of the dangers of consuming raw dough after watching this. Remember, Raw Dough Awareness Day is on April 1.
It's no exaggeration that this show helped to show the value of the paramedic. The paramedic position was in its infancy and you can see that their truck had nowhere to transport the patient so they still needed an ambulance.
There is a video of the 50th anniversary show. This show actually showed the need for paramedics. This show helped start the paramedic program nationwide.
I loved the programme. I watched it in syndication in Canada growing up. The paramedic profession has moved on leaps and bounds in some areas. I am an ECP and flight paramedic. It influenced me because I wanted to be the hero when others were in need.
I am 55, I have always been fascinated with history and generation gaps…..amazing to me after my research of Rampart General Hospital….construction completion was in 1962; that mid-century architecture was the best…..I remember when this show aired on Saturday nights; watching this in my pjs on the couch at 5 years old…..
I saw this show as a young child and it has haunted my life ever since! I've never forgotten it. Thanks to your clip, I am revisiting it for the first time in over 40 years - and I see why it made such an impression on me!
Ever notice the European sirens they incorporate with the real fire truck sirens? They did it in this episode as well. No one has ever explained why this was done. And they added the sirens at the studio after the scene. I think someone was having fun and seeing if anyone would notice.
@Scott Luther And I saw a Streets of San Francisco episode many a time (a fourth-season episode called "Dead Air") that had a woman's scream on seeing a dead body turning into the ambulance siren arriving on scene, IIRC.
That probably put him off cinnamon bread for life. Some birthday, too. No fun. But what really kills me is at 3:05 when Johnny makes that remark about getting home so he can have some cake. What wasn't Johnny thinking? Notice the really loud moan at the mention of cake.
Awesome show , the best show ever on tv in my modest opinion.I have all the seasons on dvd and have to watch it when It’s on cozi tv everything about this show is just good
I love this show and have since it started when I was 17. I always had and still do have a big crush on Kevin Tighe. I always thought Roy De Soto would have made the perfect husband.❤💜
It's wild to see how much the approach to emergency medicine has changed in the U.S. since this show. That non sterile nasogastric tube with no gloves cracked me up. Now days, at least in the area I live, an ambulance would be accompanied by a firetruck.
@@amymcdaniel924 The actor is really hamming it up, too. As an adult you're like, "this is lousy acting" bus as a kid you're like, "This guy is dying!"
I miss the 70s. Lots of good tv shows, interesting clothing, groovey way of talking, banana bicycle seats, all kinds of cool stuff. I enjoyed watching Emergency. Christmas commercials were family oriented, toys were educational without you even realizing it, etc. People just entertained themselves with whatever was at hand. I didn't enjoy everything. I sure wish I had had air conditioning. Lol.
I use to eat raw dough and it does taste good, but you can get sick from the bacteria of even one bite if the dough hasn't been cooked. Low risk, but it can happen. So I don't do it anymore.
You can actually eat raw cookie dough! I found a place at my mall called: "Wonderland Cookie Dough." It doesn't have any eggs in it, however the eggs are replaced with applesauce.
Love this show!!! I use to watch it along time ago.... That's when shows were good.. We have nothing to watch anymore. Everything is crap on TV now.... So sad.....
The firefighters/paramedics didn't, but the doctors and nurse did, especially in the OR (and even when they had to turn a treatment room into an OR, as in the fifth-season episode "The Tycoons," wherein the main ORs were tied up with victims from a car crash, and Dr. Brackett asked Nurse McCall to set up TR [treatment room] 2 with all the equipment necessary for a thoracotomy, and to bring in an anesthesiologist stat).
This show inspired me to be a Firefighter and Medic Search and Rescue Military 🪖 also. Tupac Shakur Hail Mary from Loretto. Last Meal Supper Fondue!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had to have one of those damn tubes shoved up my nose and down my throat for surgery prep. That’s the most miserable thing a nurse has ever done to me.
Dumb question: What was Dr. Brackett doing with that tube? I heard him say that it would relieve the pressure. How do they get the dough out? Do they make the patient vomit?
They did not need to remove the dough. They needed to allow the gas caused by the yeast to escape from the stomach, then monitor. Usually gastric acid will take care of the dough itself.
I recorded an emergency dialogue from Season 3 Episode 2 at the end they get a call to run up to Northern Los Angeles County with the 27 Engine the 32 Engine and the 105 Truck these rigs are still here today in their real quarters all over the county Station 51 is now in Universal Studios on the other side of LA County California Squad 51 has the Q2B siren as you would hear from the ambulances in the Chicago Fire Department Emergency Medical Service in Chicago Illinois or even the Engines Ladders Rescues Foams Squads Field Command Mobile Command Center and HazMats in the FDNY in NYC Squad 51 is a 2015 Dodge Ram Heavy Rescue Squad and Engine 51 is different too and is now a 2011 KME Super Engine Pumper all Engine Ladders and Quints are KME’s and the Rescue Squads are Dodge Rams
The Squad & Both Engine 51's (the Crown, & the Ward La France) from the show are at the LA County Fire Department Museum. - www.lacountyfiremuseum.com/
I too wish there were more shows like Emergency! Every time you turn-on the TV, all you see is the three-letter word and people killing each other. Even the commercials, totally disgusting. I always watch Emergency .
I was 6 when I saw that episode. It scared the shit out of me. Especially when my twisted father turned to me and said- and I still remember it as clear as day- “People die every day because of that. Never drop your tab in the can.” And I never did...
@@dirkstarbuck6126 I was very young when Emergency first ran but I didn't watch it then. I don't think there were that many people stupid enough to put the tab in the can before they drank it.
@@juanmonge8 I used to be an EMT. We always joked that their SOPs required an IV no matter what. Hangnail? Start an IV. Papercut? Start an IV. Stubbed a toe? Start an IV. LOL 😆
You forgot to mention Dr. Morton. He still alive and he’s the mayor some town? And his name is Ron Pinkard. John Smith was on Laramie with Dr. Brackett
I used to eat chocolate chip cookie dough now its not too safe to raw dough I don't it at all I love emergency I actually have randoph man tooths address I still watch emergency on. me TV
