Trauma (U.S. TV series)

Trauma was an NBC medical drama about the unsung heroes, emergency first responders which lasted a single season, 2009-2010. Set in the San Francisco Bay Area, Trauma focused on a team of paramedics: Nancy Carnahan, Tyler Briggs, Cameron Boone, Dr. Joseph "Joe" Saviano and the resident badass, Reubert "Rabbit" Palchuk.

Not to be confused with the 2010-present Canadian series of the same name, also about medical professionals.

Tropes used in Trauma (U.S. TV series) include:

Death Seeker: Rabbit has shades of this.
Did Not Do the Research: Oh, so many examples of it. The EMS and Rescue community absolutely hated this show with a passion, because unlike it's spiritual father, Emergency!, it went so over the top it wasn't even funny. Fire Chiefs and EMS Directors around the nation actually wrote letters to NBC demanding it to be canceled because it gave them a bad image to the community at large.
Drives Like Crazy: Rabbit, in the Pilot, before he is called out on his recklessness.
Naive Newcomer: Glen
Really Gets Around: Nancy has a reputation at work. They were taking bets on when (not if) she would sleep with the new guy.
Sacrificial Lamb: Several in the first eight minutes of the Pilot, before a Time Skip to the anniversary of their deaths exactly one year later.
Screwed by the Network: Oh so very much.
- Somewhat justified, as even the real-life profession it portrayed were demanding it die and go away. While EMS providers don't need an excuse to drink, there was actually a drinking game on the JEMS.com forum to make an episode watchable.
Sleep Cute: Nancy goes to Rabbit's apartment on the night of the anniversary of the accident in which they lost their colleagues. They share a bed, but it's completely platonic.
Invisible to Gaydar: Tyler
What Happened to the Mouse?: Very frequent, considering the show is about paramedics who rarely follow up on the patient once they have been delivered to the hospital. Sometimes the audience is never even told if the patient survived.
