Heart-Pounding Excitement! Unique, Challenging Cases! "Unrestrained driver in a head-on Car vs. Concrete Wall," the EMT explains. The patient is groggy... The EMT pulls you aside and explains that his girlfriend...didn't make it. Now it's up to you to ensure that the patient pulls through the physical trauma AND personal tragedy.

You're facing a has-been disc jockey with a plastic smile. "Wonder why a guy like me takes a 15-foot pike-and-tuck off the main stage of the Beck concert?" In Code Blue, appearances may be misleading. What starts out as a cut-and-dry case can quickly turn into something more.
