TraumaPremiere

I watched the series premiere of Trauma the other night (which, quite frankly, I probably won't be watching, because I've already got enough trauma in my own life without watching other peoples' trauma on TV), but one of the things I thought while watching the show was, "Who hired these people anyway?"

I'm not talking about the actors. I'm talking about the fictional trauma team on the show. Much of the trauma they dealt with was trauma that they themselves caused, including the mid-air helicopter crash at the beginning and the scene later where one of the team drives recklessly through the streets and takes a guy's finger off in the process. I don't know about you, but if this team was in my town, I'd be looking for a recall or some firings or something!

What's next? A giant pile-up on the freeway because one of the team was texting while driving? Or perhaps one of them will crack under the pressure, strap on a bomb, and head for the nearest mall.
