Review of The Wedsworth-Townsend Act

I just bought and started watching the DVD of Emergency. It was always one of my favorite shows and I was really excited to find out it was coming on DVD. I started watching the series late so I never saw the pilot movie or first couple of episodes. Very interesting to see how medicine has changed, today no one would think about holding a choking child upside down and shaking him to dislodge a quarter in his throat. Also,l did not realize that Dr. Brackett was such an expert on emergency medicine, I guess his expertise was what enabled him to diagnose a man with an insulin problem after the man became violent in the ER and tried to punch out the guards.
