synopsis
Dixie (Julie London) suffers a broken toe--and an endless barrage of bad jokes from her coworkers--when her foot is run over by a portable X-ray machine. Meanwhile, John (Randolph Mantooth) may endure injuries in another portion of the anatomy when he enters a rodeo. This week's caseload for the Rampart emergency staff includes a young girl who is injured by an exploding soda bottle, a potentially fatal gas-heater mishap, and a bus full of children tottering on the edge of a perilously high embankment. Future Hill Street Blues costar Barbara Bosson makes an early appearance in this episode.
