[ siren wailing ]

♪♪

[ chattering ]

How ya doin', fellas?How are ya?

What's the prognosis On our star quarterback?

Well, there's Every indication

That it's A muscle spasm.

Could be a disk.How do you treat it?

First thing we do Is make sure there's No trauma

Or neurological injury.

We administered A muscle relaxant, For a start.

Not to change the Subject or anything,

But, uh, we heard That the paramedics Up at 110's

Had a case involving Dr. Parsons.

He used to be Our instructor. He's a very nice man.

Yeah, they did. How are you guys Fixed for time right now?

We're not doing Anything.

I got the tape in my office If you wanna hear it.

Let's go.

Dr. Parsons was having Dinner at the byzantine

And choked On a piece of meat.

Nobody in the place Knew what to do,

So the owner started looking Through the yellow pages

To find a doctor.

110's get A late call?Yeah, real late.

Dr. Parsons was Clinically dead when The paramedics got there.

But they stuck with it. That's why I want you To hear the tape.

I think you can learn Something from the way They handled it.

How's he doing now?

His e.K.G. Shows substantial Heart damage--

Apparently due to The lack of oxygen

During the period Of cardiac arrest.

He's presently stable But comatose.

We'll run an e.E.G. On him tomorrow.

There's a chance The heart damage May trigger

A cardiac arrhythmia Within 24 hours.

Man: rampart, Rescue 110.

Early: rescue 110, This is rampart.

Rampart, we have a male, Approximately 45.

Pulseless, non-breathing, Cyanotic.

We're administering C.P.R.

And preparing To defibrillate. Stand by, rampart.

Those guys at 110's

Deserve a lot of Credit on that one.

Yeah, they do.

We better hustle. We have to be in Tonapah canyon

At 11:00 for that C.P.R. Demonstration.

Oh, that's right.

Hey, you want me To drive?

No, thanks. I can handle it.

[ engine starts ]

Tonapah canyon, huh?Yeah.

Paramedic office Got a request

From the tonapah Ladies' club

For a c.P.R. Demonstration.

Training squad Over at harbor

Will cover our area While we're gone.

Ladies' club.

That means it's gonna be Wall-to-wall grandmothers.

Oh, maybe this group Will be younger Than the last one.

Anyway, you got No right to complain.

Grandmothers Pay taxes, too.

Yeah, you're right.

You're not gonna do That thing with the dye

In the spinal fluid, Are you, doctor?

A myelogram? No, we only do that

When there's evidence Of nerve damage.

Does that mean He's gonna be here For a while?

I'm afraid so. We've administered A muscle relaxant.

We'll have to keep him Under close observation For at least 24 hours.

24 hours? That means He won't be able To play tomorrow.

Listen, isn't there Anything we can do?

This game means A lot to steve.

It's his chance At a pro draft.

Hmm. That anxiety

May have had something To do with the occurrence

Of an involuntary Muscle contraction--

If that's what We're dealing with.

In any case, I couldn't release him

For at least 24 hours. Possibly longer.

Will you tell him, Doctor?

I'll tell him. You go on home now.

He's being Well taken care of.

By the way, doctor, When can I visit him?

Why don't you come back Tomorrow morning?

Thank you.

I just wanted To tell you boys

How much we enjoyed The demonstration.

It's just wonderful What you're doing.

Thank you. We appreciate that.

What do you think, joe?

The vitals would indicate Shock from any cause.

The I.V. Is your best bet, If they can get Parental consent.

But if the condition Worsens,

We'll have to go With the I.V. Even without consent.

We have A little boy hurt.

We need to start An I.V.,

But we don't have Parental consent.

We can't find The parents.

If they are, Guide me to his home.

You know most Everyone up here?

What the firemen need Is the parents' Permission

Before they can Start treatment.

They want to give him Treatment right away,

And they can't without A parent's permission.

Do you know the way To the school?

And go with me now?

He's wedged in here Real tight.

We'll have to cut the tree up To get him out.

That tree's been dead A long time. Pretty rotten.

We cut off too much From one side or the other,

The heaviest fork's Liable to give way.

We could to crush him in The middle of the trunk.

Get the ladder. Let's get The saws off the squad.

How's he doin'?

The legs were movin' before. Now they're not movin' at all.

What worries me is, He's wedged in here So tight,

I don't know if he's Gettin' enough air.

I can't be sure how Big this cavity is,

Or whether or not It's airtight.

What about drilling some Holes into the trunk

So we can get into The cavity, you know, To ventilate it?

Yeah, but the problem Is that this tree's So rotten,

We start drilling Holes in this trunk,

We could cave the Whole thing in on him.
