synopsis
Elaine Heilveil guest stars as Karen Overstreet, a female paramedic trainee with a hostile attitude who feels she must continually prove her worth to her all-male colleagues. On the job, it is Roy (Kevin Tighe) who ends up needing emergency medical attention after trying to save an invalid from a fire. Elsewhere, an attempted suicide changes his mind a shade too late, and the paramedics struggle to revive the victim of a pulmonary embolism, and a freeway construction crew accidentally imperils an elderly couple.
