"Trauma" Makes It Nice

We’ve got to wait till September to see whether NBC’s new paramedic series, Trauma, will be a hit, but it’s already providing a much-needed boost to the San Francisco economy.
Penned by Dario Scardapane, the pilot is estimated to spend $7 million in San Francisco through the hiring of local crew, payment of local taxes, city services, and the patronage of local business.
The show will be expensive to produce. There will be lots of on-location filming, explosions, and action to watch on our new HD flatscreens (no, we haven’t bought one yet).

It doesn’t look like they’re too careful about watching their pennies: Justin Herman Plaza has been rented for the week for what can’t be more than a few minutes of air time. It must be nice to have a fat budget.

Why all the effort to put the injured in a rotor-less copter?
