ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Go beyond the confines of a hospital emergency room, into the chaos of medicine on the streets and into the lives of the men and women known as paramedics. Travel to San José, California, a city plagued with gang violence, drug abuse and alcoholism; or to the high desert city of Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the vast, dry land makes emergency work twice as hard. Premiered on Discovery Health, USA.

Produced by New York Times Television (1999-2000)
