Future General Hospital star Leslie Charleson appears in this episode as Christy Todd, a pushy journalist (aka "the Baby Barracuda") who insists upon accompanying the paramedics as they go about their rescue rounds. The virulently feminist Christy causes nothing but trouble for the male staffers as they deal with a boy suffering from hemlock poisoning and a perilous situation involving an overturned truck surrounded by live power lines. Also, the team extracts a man (Dick Van Patten) caught in a garbage disposal, and another poor soul who is trapped in a sofa bed. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
