This weeks “Celebrity Medic” features someone who used science to develop a time machine and then spent 3 “Back to the Future” movies trying to undo damage to the space-time-continuum that was caused by time travel. While he may have created a monster, he showed the world that he was a true genius. But now that the damage has been repaired, what is this scientist supposed to do? Such a master mind could be put to good use in the science of pre-hospital medicine.

So as usual, we must ask the big question. What kind of Paramedic would Doc Brown be?

Shifts

Being that Dr. Brown has the ability to travel through time, shift work be a thing of the past (time travel joke).

Response

Doc Brown wouldn’t respond to calls in the present time. Instead, he would find sick people and travel back in time before they became ill and warn them to either take care of themselves or seek treatment to prevent whatever caused their health issues. He certainly wouldn’t have any issues finding patients and he would have the luxury of taking all the time he needs.

Vehicle

The Delorean wouldn’t exactly be good for transporting patients, but perhaps it wouldn’t matter if he’s confronting them before they become sick…..

Uniform

I think it’s obvious that he would continue to wear his white hazmat jumpsuit. The only difference would be a star of life instead of the radiation symbol on the back. Also included would be a patch that read “GSEMS” which stands for “Great Scotts Emergency Medical Services”.

Protocols

Protocols? Where he’s going they don’t need protocols……

Radio Reports

Doc Brown wouldn’t need to give radio reports as he could travel forward in time to give the ER staff a decent heads-up that he’s bringing in a patient before returning back in time to the scene of incident.

Partner

This one is no-brainer. The only people qualified to work for Dr. Brown’s time-travel GCEMS service would be 2 individuals that are already experienced in the field. Bill and Ted! (More on that to come)

Equipment

Doc Brown is no stranger to handy gadgets. This is one of the many reasons that I feel he would be a perfect fit for the pre-hospital emergency medical field.

• Delorean – Modified for use as time machine / first-responder vehicle.
• Heart Monitor / Defibrillator – Powered by used soda cans and other household trash.
• Plutonium powered Pulse Oximeter – What else would he power it with?
• Brain Wave Monitor – Could be used to detect strokes and bleeds.

As always, I welcome any comments or suggestions. Have a great week!
