A TELEVISION SERIES THAT I LOVED AS CHILD....AND A VERY SPECIFIC EPISODE!

Hello All,                                                                                      So as you who all read this very blog know that I have always been a giant kid at heart, and yes again just yesterday was my special day of when I was born. I want to today talk about a television series that started way back when that at times I have posted images from but have not as yet gone into my actual love for a show that brought the forefront of those that help us all when we are sick or ill with a injury or another type of aliment that is causing us to be not our normal or natural selves. I am of course talking about the show that aired on NBC as an midseason replacement for "THE GOOD LIFE" and "THE  PARTNERS" it permired on January fifteenth, nineteen seventy two and ran till May twenty eight, nineteen seventy seven. It was called "EMERGENCY!"   

                                                                                              I happen to have the first two seasons and the post television movies on DvD. Today I am wanting to share my thoughts on a very specific yet very special episode of the first  season.... the episode's title is "DILEMMA" before we get started I want you all to know that Emergency! will not fit my widescreen smart television because of the camera that the filming crew used was full frame to fit the television screen ratio, of one point thirty three point one. Which was before sixteen by nine for the widescreen format which most everyone has a choice of getting now if they wish too.                                                                                "DILEMMA" was the show's ninth episode and it's time that it was on was (EST:5:30-6:00 ) and (CST:3:30-5:00 P.M.).

 Now let's get into the full review of the episode and see what occurred in this very special episode ( I will explain why it is so very special after the review) like the Star Trek series Emergency! had teasers  to the star of each episode, in this tease the viewing audience with the station being alerted to a call of a possible cardiac victim being stuck in a elevator at 225 overland cross street, Alcott which is an old hotel named club deko. Once inside and after talking to the manger on staff Roy and John race to the elevator mantince operation shaft on the fourth floor to find out that 

the break drum is slipping. They race down to the main floor Roy climbs into top of the elevator and we see the trapped passengers... he helps out all but and elderly couple the husband protected his wife as the fell, his name is Sam. His wife that has the heart attack or possibly a heart attack is named Annie. At Rampart one the newest student nurse Sharon Walters is flustered by doctor Brackett rides her about getting the incoming reading off of the current incoming transcript of the call. Dixie McCall the head nurse tells Brackett his inpeckable inpatient procedure doesn't apply to all newbies. Back at station fifty one, Johnny Gage has a problem from the other day when he was putting away the station flag... the problem is Cynthia. Johnny describes her as a fireman groupie.                                                                Walters can speak to Joe Early but, she learns a little bit of changing her thoughts towards Kel Brackett, to still be unsure at the moment. A call at the station comes in of an industrialized accident has happened in the Alameda train yard area. Two train tank cleaning men have gotten their jobs of cleaning vegetable oil cars maybe confusion according to their supervisor. The team go searching for Andy which is stuck in a train tank on row three, Johnny finds a hose that leads him and Roy to look into the tank and         

they find Andy. Whom was very much in need a resperatoir to get him back to being stabilized and wash the chemical with water. The chemical the two were exposed to was trichloroethylene. Andy was sitting at the way he was saved his life. Sam from the earlier elevator incident  starts to have chest pains and Sharon Walters is with him while it is occurring. She helps him by setting him right in his hospital bed. She tells Brackett that Sam had a respiratory distress pulse 135 and thready blood pressure 90 over 60. She ask Brackett after he wants an IV started will he want a portable x-ray and cardiogram. He responded with "And some blood tests." Sam had just had an embolism that resulted from when he had a clot just a moment ago. Brackett comes to learn that a chat between Dix and Sharon gave Sharon her confidence to overcome her fears of Brackett. Yet Brackett and the audience are left wondering what that whole conversation was about? As for Gage's Cynthia problem is pretty sloved when she starts seeing

fellow firefighter Chet. Now as to why this very episode is so very specific as the title of this blog states is because it aired on March 25,1972 the day after I was born. So like me being forthy eight years old in twenty ,twenty it to is forthy eight years old as well.                              Sometime after this coronavirus diease has passed us by I will write about the whole "Emergency!" series  I of course just may have to wait for findfin seasons three through five somewhere on DvD sales maybe Amazon would be my best answer there huh?  Still it like all the other television series that I have talked about will be posted here eventually. I do hope that your all staying home and safe too.
