Roy and Johnny think back at how far they have come in their paramedic training since they started, reminiscing about the following: Roy trying to convince Johnny that he should try out for the paramedic program, having to face opposition from both civil and medical authority...including Dr. Brackett, and having Brackett realize the advantages and worth of the paramedic program and his testimony which helped get the legislation passed.
