Plot Synopsis

SAVE MY LIFE: BOSTON TRAUMA is a six-part series that follows trauma cases in the Boston area -- from the actual scene of unimaginable accidents to the emergency rooms and operating rooms of the most prestigious hospitals including the Boston Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Lives that could be lost or traumatically damaged in lesser hands are saved through feats of skill and commitment, beginning with the first responders of Boston's EMS who distinguished themselves at the Boston Marathon bombing more than two years earlier. In the premiere episode, cameras follow two young men who are gunned down on Main Street in the close knit Charlestown neighborhood of Boston. After pushing through a crowd of onlookers, the EMS evacuates the two victims to Massachusetts General Hospital where top surgeons wage a heroic battle to save the life of a 17-year old boy. The case takes an unexpected twist that even doctors can't anticipate. Also in this episode: a nursing student discovers that the driver of the vehicle that hit her is also a nurse; a young mother with two broken legs is concerned about the meatballs she left cooking in the oven; an injured motorcyclist can't resist spouting rap lyrics for a captive audience of doctors and nurses; and a police officer compliments a doctor-in-training who fixes his dislocated knee cap.
