Midnight Shift: Midnight Bus, NYC EMS Part 1

Part 1: Midnight Bus. Down-time shenanigans, interaction with street people, (and a little fun with editing,) NYC paramedics and EMTs working the midnight shift in the Midtown North and Upper West Side. Medics from NYC EMS, St. Luke's/Roosevelt, Metropolitan, Lenox Hill, and St. Clare's Hospitals. My partner James "Bubba" Jackson and I brought a camera in for several weekends collecting raw footage, and after some fun with editing by Dave Alper and I, this is the final result. This footage is from 1987. It's raw, (no actors,) it's sometimes crude, but always real. Credits at the end of Part 2.

@brendan129, everyone here has long since moved on and the whole EMS has been restructured.
