Nice find Richard ... and there is a Canadian connection in the related links .. nice.

SSG Gman I deplore you PLEASE DON'T bring MASH 4077 anywhere near this topic, Trauma is no wear near even deserving even to mention in passing. Oh and if you go on line with NBC multiple sites JEMs and EMS1 you will find that as a EMS group this has stimulated a huge outcry.

cheers

"M*A*S*H" was intended as a comedy. They incorporated into itself that the characters would mostly be serious in the operating room, but due to the frustrations of war, they'd be cut-ups (pun unintended, but nessesary)outside of the OR, to the point that they had one episode with no laugh track, placed entirely in the OR.

"Trauma" is intended as a drama, with occasional leanings towards "dramady", a blending of drama and comedy. Due to the mistakes noted by us, and the existance of this string, they seem to unintentionally be more to comedy.

M*A*S*H = greatest show ever. Don't even mention it in the same breath as this garbage - blasphemy!
