This episode is a good one.
But what I have to say is that, not only in this episode, but in most of the series, the EMS part is just terribly researched. The medical part is mostly correct, but the firefighters in this show are supposed to be EMTs only. They are trained for basic life support. They are there to transport mildly sick people to the hospital. For more complex things, there's the praramedics from Medic One. And even those do not operate (as in what a surgeon does in the OR) in the street.
This is a terribly unrealistic thing which bothers me - being a paramedic - very much.
But that's a general thing in the Grey's Anatomy shows, where surgeons perfom operations (as they should) and treat heart attacks (what they should not) and do actually everything.
