Re: Saved
by jw24
Oh, you've got to be kidding! I watched "Saved" when it premiered in the US, and was so infuriated that I wrote a long email to the network, TNT. The T-shirt in place of a uniform, the medical inaccuracies (too numerous to list--let's begin with using defibrillator paddles, which haven't been used for years in the US, to shock a patient in a nonshockable rhthym), the sex in the back of the ambulance...give me a break! (Though I must confess, it aired here so long ago that I've forgotten all the mistakes/misreprsentations. Suffice to say that there were many.) All paramedics are not pristine. Some are slobs, some bend the rules, and care is not always what it should be. We have crude senses of humor. But 35 years after paramedics made their first appearance in the US, 95% of all Americans still don't have the slightest idea what we are capable of doing. We yearn for professional recognition, such as nurses enjoy, and this series will set the clock back by decades. I'm glad you liked it. Just my opinion, but I thought the dialogue was cheesy. I'll not watch it again.
