synopsis
The insufferably rule-bound paramedic Craig Brice (James G. Richardson) makes himself even more obnoxious than usual when he gets his name in the newspapers. Brice's insatiable thirst for self-aggrandizing publicity drives John (Randolph Mantooth) and Roy (Kevin Tighe) crazy throughout the episode. Back on the job, the paramedics attempt to rescue a young girl from a backhoe, while simultaneously mollifying her apoplectic father; a babysitter suffers an anxiety attack when she tries to take care of too many kids at once, a hardware store catches fire, and a boy accidentally wounds himself with a pellet gun.
