Original title: Na Sygnale Production: Poland Year: 2014–? Genre: Docudrama Cast: Wojciech Kuliński, Monika Mazur, Dariusz Wieteska, Konrad Darocha TV network: TVP2 Episode length: 22–24 min Medical topic: Emergency medical services "Na Sygnale" is a new series from the creators of the popular "Na dobre i na złe." It follows the lives of emergency medical technicians. In each episode, the crew of an ambulance—Wiktor, Piotr, Martyna, and Adam—responds to calls involving people whose lives or health are in danger. The show highlights just how difficult and demanding the work of paramedics can be. Day in and day out, they face numerous challenges and unexpected situations. Additionally, as is often the case in such productions, we experience the main characters’ struggles and life’s twists and turns alongside them. The series’ plot is fast-paced and engaging. As for its educational value, I believe it is significant, as it demonstrates proper procedures in many emergency situations. Thanks to watching this show, 12-year-old Kuba saved his own life by correctly applying a tourniquet after injuring his brachial artery. He did exactly what the doctors did in his favorite show.
