I suspect the key is not to take the setting as seriously as it takes itself. That's certainly how we did it in the campaign I was in way back at WPI. The player characters were a Trauma Team™ unit. We... might have been the worst Trauma Team™ unit. I mean, you wouldn't think so if you were the patient. We always saved the patient! But we often did it in ways that were probably not to the company's marketing department's taste. Not for nothing was our crew ID number 4077.

In the game lore, there's a long-standing, unfriendly, often violent rivalry between Trauma Team™ and their chief competitor, the lower-budget, less effective, but much-better-named REO MeatWagon. TT and MeatWagon teams are known to get into firefights when they rock up on a scene where both of them have customers in need of assistance. At one point, we pissed off the local MeatWagon crew so bad they came after us, no patients necessary. :)
