My mother loved the show, according to her viewing habits. She watched it every week. She was going to school to be a nurse at this point. She would sit and yell at the television over all the things that they did wrong during their rescue calls.

I used to hate that show as a child because of all the yelling at the screen. It was also being in that situation which showed me just how dangerous that screen could be, as my mother was not one to yell at clouds, yet here she was talking to a television screen about something that was filmed several months ago and was meant to be entertaining anyway, not an accurate portrayal of healthcare in the US.

The fact that it was able to engender that reaction taught me plenty about both the entertainment industry and our society in general. So, I owe that show a lot. It was a great show and I wish it had not been ruined by a nursing student constantly correcting the screen.

(Of course, so many things that she was complaining about were procedures that have changed, some more than once. So, her ranting was pointless, as they don't even do those things anymore.)
