Trauma is a great show. I got into it initially by turning channels out of boredom. But once I started watching it, I was hooked! It's well-written, fast-paced, has great characters, actors & story lines. It's exciting & funny & emotional. I'm thrilled that NBC is giving it a few more episodes - it blows most other shows away ( in terms of "watchability"), so I don't know why they'd want to cancel it ( although it seems like most of the really great shows get cancelled prematurely, IMHO). Please help keep it going!!I don't watch too many TV shows, but I have to admit that I really look forward to watching this one - can't wait til it's back!

A lot of TV shows and movies consider "realistic" as being bloody and gory or action packed. But this show seems to portray the incidents and the characters as I would imagine they would actually act in the real world. It does not tend to show the actual events that put the trauma victims in their predicament but rather show what real first responders actually see--the aftermath. That is a pleasant change. The cast is well chosen and do an excellent job bringing their characters to life. The story lines are a good mix of real world situations ranging from the mundane to the mass casualty. I do hope this show finds an audience and does not get canceled. It would be a real shame!

Well i am a big fan of medical TV Series, i watched 9 seasons of E.R. which is still one of my favorites because it's the most realistic one i know. I watched all of House's Episodes because the characters are very well played and it doesn't matter that the medical plot isn't always as accurate, at least the procedures are done right. I watched Nip Tuck, because the first season, the make-up&masks in the surgeries were totally awesome, the character story was funny too, sadly the good medical side has gone worse, i don't think i can watch this any longer. And then there are my 2 soaps "Greys and Private Practice", GA started very nice, but then became worse since season 3, it wasn't all that accurate from the beginning, but it became worse, in addition the characters made such incomprehensible moves, that makes you think you're in a satire, the only reason i still watch is, because the soundtrack still is great and when i face medical clichés in my patient i know where they get it from. PP doesn't run this long and has a greater focus on the characters and ethical dilemmas, which is good because then you can't mess up the medicine like in GA.So except from House i wanted a new series with good cases, good characters and Emergency Medicine, i was psyched to see this.But i can say EVERY second was bad, i don't know where to start, let's make a list: Medical procedures? CPR with one hand because it looks cool? No it doesn't, administering the wrong medicine, why? - Sex in an ambulance? Yes, but not on duty! - Beer on duty, WTF? - Every character gets introduced, 2 helicopter crash (i thought the pilot was such an awesome dude ...) and there are survivors? Are you kidding me?These shows are supposed to show Medical PROFESSIONALS, at least they try to tell you this, but all you see are pretty people who don't know their head from their ass. I really don't know why they have take every realism out of this series, emergency medicine is a rush, you don't need to push it up with ridiculous plots, actions. Realism makes medical series better, not worse. I don't know why writers don't get that.Let's hope for the next medical show :)

I don't understand how NBC picked some random third grade writers for a prime time slot TV show. This is pathetic to say the least. The characters are imaginary (a gay paramedic?). The stories are idiotic, and most annoying is the fact that they had to create some fake reality in order to find drama from EMS. How about try getting someone with actual talent and experience to write your scripts for you, someone who looks the part, and someone who is an actual EMS provider with experience. You don't get to shove this crap down people's throats who have actually been in the back of the ambulance and know the real difference. You want reality? How about the fact that 'real' emergency patients never get to see their paramedic work on them? Try working around that concept maybe you will get the message.
