Unfortunately I don't have a suggestion to help you, but this is a fairly common trope. There's even a snopes page about it.

I was wrong I think it was on ’Strong medicine’ ?!
TV and Movie Buffs I need help!!! Fire rescue tv show from the 90’s
There was a show in the 90’s (almost positive) that was an emergency rescue show (fire fighters EM Ts etc...) from my childhood that I am trying to remember. I don’t remember much but I remember 1 scene with pretty good detail. It is as follows:
A couple have just been involved in a pretty bad crash, [i believe] a freeway overpass or support beam has fallen on the vehicle and both individuals are badly injured. After a lengthy assessment they have determined that the unconscious female is going to die if she is not extricated quickly, which means removing the chunk of concrete on top from atop the vehicle. Now for the kicker.. her bf (or husband) is only still alive because the slab of whatever is holding him together. He has been cut nearly in half and after they remove slab of concrete he will die shortly after. With time short for his wife, he sacrificially instructs the Fire dept to remove the slab from the car and you can guess what happens from here.
I thought FOR SURE this was Third Watch but I have watched the series again in the last few years and was sadly disappointed. Then I thought ‘maybe it was rescue 911’ but that more based off of true 911 calls so I feel it is also wrong. Someone out there must know the answer!!! Google has failed me.
