I think it's Pluto TV that's got Emergency, I've watched a couple of
episodes. The doctors look like they smoke in their offices and the
nurse's outfit looks like something from the 1800s. kooky...

Emergency was on 50 years ago. The chief nurse wore pants suits and that was sa point when nurses uniforms were evolving from those old style dresses.
The portable ekg machine with RF data link to the hospital was fairly
modern. By the later episodes the ekg machine had a defibrulator built in.

Funny thing is the chief nurse was married in real life to the gray haired doctor, and was written in to be the love interest of the other main doctor. The dispatch operator who would speak over the talk box was the real LA
county dispacter. Several of the firefighters were real firefighters. The fire chief who would appear at the fire scenes was the actuall county fire chi ef. I get the impression the show producers got access to the new stuff, and handed it over to the ifre department when the series was over.

I watch Dragnet and Adam 12 on Amazon Prime and Emergency I see on
ME or Cozi TV. Dixie from Emergency was from when Nurses still wore
white hats, I think that's what you are referring to anyway...

I also see the Flying Nun once in a while, now there's 'kooky
hats'...

Regards there Poindexter!

I used to like Emergency as a kid. My father bought me a black Plano tackle box because I thought it was cooler than a fire truck

I'm surprised they didn't market to kids that tackle box with a phone that
they used to talk to the hospital and communicate vital signs to the
doctors. Apparently that was a real thing and a new thing they were
"selling" as part of their PR campaign for those units.

Apparently, LA and another city were pilots for the paramedic program
and used the show as a PR campaign.

As you mention, Julie London (Dixie) was married to Bobby Troup (Dr Joe
Early). Prior to that, she was married to Jack Webb and they had 2
daughters. Ironically, Stacy Webb was killed when involved in a
collision with a California Highway Patrol car in 1996.

I think Jack Webb had a big hand in creating the series. He had a
big impact on radio and TV of the times. I wish more of the Dragnet
series of the early 50's were archived somewhere. Sadly not the
case.

The paramedic program was a pilot program in LA and another city, and
the show was a PR/awareness campaign of sorts showing off the new
program tech, like being able to call a doctor, have the doctor read
vitals and prescribe treatment.
