Emergency! (1972) Season 3 Episode 12 - Body Language

Airdate: 1973-Dec-08

Episode summary:

John's current girlfriend misinterprets a discussion for a wedding proposal. The firemen assist a crop-dusting pilot who had been spraying parathion from his plane, which then crashed and punctured his lung, and poisons a bystander with the pesticide. An injured boy using a walker wants to use crutches instead, and Dixie provides him with such crutches. A man gets treated for an ear infection that resulted from his insertion of mothballs into his ear, and Drs. Brackett, Early, and Morton unanimously agree that the man does not need a hospital stay. The paramedics treat a couple who had overdosed on daffodil bulbs mixed with alcohol (in which the atropine in the daffodil bulbs got dissolved), a weekend cowboy (who is a bad horseback rider) who had fallen off a horse but refused treatment until he collapsed again with a possible skull fracture, a traffic accident on U.S. Route 101 results in two victims starting a relationship, and a lead singer of a rock band in cardiac arrest due to drugs.
