    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Dr. Lawrence is referred to as being a legend and the "father of modern emergency medicine", it is also revealed that he used to be an Army surgeon and discovered several procedures as an Army surgeon that revolutionized emergency medicine. This makes the character of Dr. Lawrence very similar to another of Alan Alda's characters: Captain Benjamin 'Hawkeye' Pierce from M*A*S*H (1972). Hawkeye was an Army surgeon during the Korean War, the character was loosely based on a real life MASH surgeon, a number of procedures were developed by MASH surgeons like CPR and a lot of the procedures and protocols created by MASH surgeons went on to become the standard for emergency medicine.
