Story: A new intern at Rampart lacks
compassion for people’s ignorance and trust in the paramedic program, and nearly
makes a near fatal diagnosis so Brackett has him ride-along with the squad. A man is
injured when his chimney explodes. A woman gets her hand stuck in a mailbox. Johnny and
Roy must rescue a man suffering from a heart attack, who's trapped on a burning oil
refinery tower.
Goofs: (1) On the first call, Mike is
checking the location on the map before the address is given. (2) In the beginning
of the episode, the guys are having a drill in the apparatus room when a call comes in for
engine and squad 51 to respond to a chimney explosion. Next thing you see the guys coming
out of the kitchen to the trucks when they were already in the apparatus room.
(3) When the call comes in for the refinery fire, the guys and
Dr. Donaldson hop on the trucks and start down the street while the dispatcher
is still calling out the companies even BEFORE the address of the refinery is
even given.
