I watched it and enjoyed it. I'm just a cop so I don't know how "made for TV" it is or isn't, but I will continue to watch it.

When my wife squeezed my hand tight when they were evacuating the 18D I knew it was a great show. It's not made to show off, it's made to inform the people about what the PJs are doing and I really enjoyed it.

Only caught the second half but thought it was good.
The ODA sending off their wounded medic was tough to watch. Same with him asking for pain killers.
I'm sure there was a good reason for them not giving him something but it was hard to hear him continually asking. It was amazing how collected he seemed.
Sure looked like a damn tough job.

Wow, that was a little tough to watch. But it just fills my heart knowing that there are those people that run to the sound of chaos and confusion to aid others.
I sure hope there is a special place in heaven for those PJs!
I will say a prayer tonight for the SF Medics, PJs and others that work within that golden hour!!!

I am proud of them and proud of Army Medevac! Which, ofcourse, is what I am associated with.
After watching last nights show, it looked like the samething medevac did.

Good to get this info out so everyone knows the sacrifice of all involved.

Good show...
Pretty good show, I did have a couple of issues with NatGeo. MOO I think they should have blurred out the nametags hanging in the lockers that clearly displayed the first and last names of the CRO. Also, they did not distinguish between PJ and CRO, not that there is too much of a difference, but there is some. ( PJ = enlisted, Paramedic, focused on patient care, site security. CRO = Officer, not Paramedic unless prior PJ, focused on mission planning and employment of the team.)
I have worked with Eric and he is very genuine in his concern to care for both his people and those he is transporting for further treatment.
I hope the series continues and even comes back and gives updates on patients.

That was a really good show. A little back ground on me-
when I was a boring 11b back in the deuce there was a time where there were no not many schools being offered for squat. I started taking correspondance courses.
remember those?
I completed the Army's Basic Medic Course and got a dual mos. Then I convinced the unit to send to me the six-week EMT-I course, then later to EMT-II I was slowly working my way up to Paramedic then Iraq invaded Kuwait.
Anyway I knew just a little bid about emergency medicine.
This Intraosseous infusion that was done of the SF Medic was awsome. That was not around back in my day. Hell, we were still using MAST Trousers back then!
But I researched it this morning and watched a training film on WaisMed's BIG Bone Injection Gun.
I would have to think that this was something the military came up with. Military Emergency Medicine has been responsible for many many advances in medicine for a very long time-even dating back to the civil war.
Many of the modern advances have come from the feild expediency of out own 18D medics in the Special Operation Community.
I am not sure that very many people know that.
