Emergency!

Quite possibly my favorite show of all time: Emergency!

"The show centers around Station 51 and Rampart Emergency Hospital. Station 51 contains a squad and an engine (the station has had both a Crown and a Ward LaFrance) with a normal crew of six, two of which are paramedics. The show begins with the pilot movie showing the paramedic program in its infancy, before legislation is in effect to allow the paramedics to function independently. It follows the characters of paramedics John Gage and Roy DeSoto to the point when they are promoted to captain. Most episodes were split between rescue scenes in "the field" and follow-up treatment at the hospital afterward...Emergency! originally aired between 1972 and 1977 on NBC.
