Oh, trust me, I laugh at almost every mention of emergency medicine in pop culture. Maybe it's because we've all been on an ambulance once or twice, but no one ever seems to consult with the professionals, like they do with doctors; they just assume they know exactly what happens, which is inevitably always wrong. Then again, I've heard that Terminator - the movies, anyways - are actually pretty good when it comes to details. My teacher actually used a clip from the second movie to illustrate the stages of cardiopulmonary arrest.

Hee!

I haven't seen the movies in years, but interesting! There's one particular SCC episode in which the emergency medicine, and indeed the basic biological science, struck me (and I guess everyone, judging from fan reactions) as particularly ridiculous. A transparent exchange of science for plot device!
