Ratings and reviews

"Don't make me take my sunglasses off!" Not sure that he ever did take them off.

Yep.....life in EMS in NYC can be stressful, but it has its own rewards. If you are burnt out...get out. Excellent film, thank goodness its not like this in NYC anymore.

Great movie and relatable in EMS myself for 10 years but not as dramatic...but your losses will follow you home if you allow it...that is true
