Premise

The series followed the staff at Medstar Trauma Center, a special unit of the fictional McKee Hospital in Los Angeles County who dealt with numerous life-threatening medical incidents in each episode. The show also focused on two ambulance paramedics who often had to undertake unusual or dangerous actions in order to rescue injured people before delivering them to the Trauma Center.
