synopsis
An unusally heavy load of emergencies prevents the paramedics from catching up with their voluminous paperwork--despite John's (Randolph Mantooth) "brilliant" idea for simplifying the process. This week's roster include a beautician who o.d.'s on diet pills, a girl imprisoned in an overturned car, and a fire on a ship at sea. And as if this wasn't vexing enough, the squad must deal with a stubborn young woman who demands that they transfer her stroke-victim father to a faraway hospital rather than nearby Rampart.
