A recommendation: Code 3 (2025)
In a landscape of so many quality things to watch, I wanted to take a minute to recommend Code 3, which came out earlier this year. It stars Rainn Wilson, Lil Rel Howery, and Aimee Carrero, among a few other known actors and actresses. It follows Wilson's character, a paramedic working for Los Angeles 911, through a period of a couple of days. The comedy is pretty funny, although I should mention it does have a couple of dark moments as well, in case anyone would rather shy away from that. But I recommend it specifically because, having lived that life, it's the most accurate depiction of life on a 911 truck I've seen from Hollywood. The ups, the downs, the laughs, the tears. I watch a fair amount of things that I feel like weren't worth my time in hindsight, but this is the first movie in a while where I enjoyed the entirety of it. Hopefully some of y'all do as well :)
There are one or two things that aren't super realistic IMO (the doctor being so antagonizing for example) but I agree with you, it's extremely close to what it is to be a first responder (saying this as a French firefighter). I enjoyed this movie a lot, the actors, the story, it's all very good overall.
Yeah, the interaction with the physician was the only part I didn't connect with. I've had my fair share of run ins with charge nurses, but I can only think of one time in ten years that a physician acted that way.
