Dixie McCall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dixie McCall is a fictional character from the television series Emergency! (1972-1977). She was portrayed by actress Julie London. McCall was the chief nurse of the emergency room of Rampart General Hospital and was involved in the very beginning of the paramedic program. She helped in training and running calls with paramedics of the Los Angeles County Fire Department until the passing of a state bill authorizing paramedics in the field. She was injured in the field while running a call with Paramedics John Gage and Roy DeSoto in the first episode ("The Wedsworth-Townsend Act"), and Gage and DeSoto went beyond their authorizations to cover for and help her.
