Trauma Center is an American medical drama that aired on ABC from September 22, 1983 to December 29, 1983.
In the run-up to the 1983âÂÂ84 fall season, the series was promoted on-air and in the Fall Preview issue of TV Guide as Medstar, but was changed to Trauma Center prior to the first air-date.
The series followed the staff at Medstar Trauma Center, a special unit of the fictional McKee Hospital in Los Angeles County who dealt with numerous life-threatening medical incidents in each episode. The show also focused on two ambulance paramedics who often had to undertake unusual or dangerous actions in order to rescue injured people before delivering them to the Trauma Center.
