Trauma is a medical drama concentrating on the intense world of first-responder paramedics. The team from San Francisco City Hospital includes hotshot flight medic Reuben “Rabbit” Palchuck; former Iraq pilot Marisa Benez; paramedic team Cameron Boone and Tyler Briggs; jaded and beautiful paramedic Nancy Carnahan; and Nancy’s partner, rookie EMT Glenn Morris. Their mentor and main contact at the hospital is Dr. Joe Saviano. Nancy, Rabbit, Cameron, and Tyler all share a painful memory from the past: a helicopter accident in which a fellow paramedic perished. In-between working to save those injured in accidents, crimes, and other medical emergencies, team members must deal with personal problems: Cameron’s serial infidelity, Rabbit’s maverick manner and his former relationship with Nancy, and Nancy’s habit of sleeping with whomever her paramedic partner happens to be at the moment.
Language is of concern on Trauma, with the words “dick,” “balls,” along with “piss,” “hell,” “damn” and “ass” heard frequently. Sex is often implied but rarely shown, with various couples depicted necking or shown post-coitally. Sexual references are also made, but are generally fleeting. As a medical drama, there are often graphic scenes involving medical violence, such as patients bleeding profusely, a graphic tracheotomy, and Marisa having to pop a motorcyclist’s eyes back into their sockets. Some gunfire and gang violence has also been shown.
Trauma is not recommended for viewers under age 18.
