How about "Emergency?" Did you ever watch that show? That was on around the same era in the 70's.

That was AWESOME! I loved "Emergency."

The E.D. surgeon (yes surgeons in those days), always ordered "D5W" and "100mg Lidocaine, IV push" anytime someone was having a heart attack. Beta blockers? What were those? Aspirin for a heart attack, are you kidding?? Heparin? Plavix?

Just imagine, the things we do now that are considered cutting edge and state-of-the-art, will be ancient history in 35 years.
