Honest question
Started by mcp5016
How great was it when George Clooney showed up?
That was pretty awesome, I have to say. I think I'm going to have to buy the first couple of seasons now that I can probably understand it better than when I was 7. lol

Freaking Awesome!!!
Pft, Grey's is where it was at tonight. Did a resident on ER have a diagnosis of metastatic cancer (including the brain?) I didn't think so.
Haha boo...
its all about house... I love that show. I know its far from realistic but its just so fun to watch.

I was so done with Grey's when the Denny hallucinations started, and then lasted for 5 episodes. I also find it odd on Grey's how the surgeons treat everyone.
Denny hallucinations were explained tonight, although I figured it out a bit ago.
Scrubs!!!

They can explain all they want, it still does not make up for those 5 weeks of terror they passed off as episodes.
Ill admit that over the past 10 years, I would sit and watch ER and think, man, I would love to be a doctor one day.
So I guess I got to say "Thanks ER" for helping to inspire my dreams!👍
3 more episodes left.....

I can't believe Reece is 13! I'm really old...
Benton saves Carter.........again 🙂
Hey what about Doogie Howser..lol.
Honest answer: TV makes medicine look ******ed. I was really sold on this career after I started volunteering at the ED of the regional trauma center for central texas. Then I got a job there, and honestly, I would have thought long and hard about nursing, had med school not worked out. I just love the environment. Now that I'm in med school, I spend most of my saturday nights volunteering at the ED at Grady, because I missed it, and I love that too.
Real medicine is so much more fun that TV. I'm like a kid in a candy store.
Of course, I'm also a crazy *******. But we have to find a way to be happy too.

Amen!
I have made it through my entire life without seeing an episode of ER, not even part of one.

lol me too ... I was starting to think I was the only one. The only thing I remember about that show PERIOD, is George Clooney's assclown ceasar haircut I'd see during ER commercials.
Medical shows are all about the real ones (ie Trauma: Life in the ER, Plastic Surgery: Before and After, Mystery Diagnosis, etc) and Nip/Tuck. Everyone should look to Dr Christian Troy to see what the realisitc life of a physician is like. Kidding, but I seriously love Nip/Tuck. I also love Dr. 90210 (not Rey, but the show itself - .... and Kirby - DON'T JUDGE ME).
Haha, you're not the only one. I can't even remember seeing a commercial. In fact, for the past few years I thought it wasn't even on the air anymore. 😀
It's Scrubs and House for me!
Scrubs!!!
@Texas: How do you balance med school + volunteering that much time!?!? 😱
Enjoy them, but man...I'm sick of switching on Discovery Health and watching Deliver Me, The Duggers 2^x, etc. Anyone else get those "What is your favorite channel/TV show" interview questions? My first interview (charter allo) had it. I didn't want to get into the whole "that's not real life what-so-ever" with a clinician interviewer. My response, "Dirty Jobs, you gotta love Mike Rowe". Amazing guy, btw, if you follow his mission with the show.... Their response "My favorite is Mystery Diagnosis" followed by a stern glare. wtf...waitlist, but not disappointed after seeing the culture. 👎
Anyone else bummed that plastics is for all intensive purposes, impossible, as an osteo?
Both great shows. Unfortunately, for me, I've watched both of them to death, and can pretty much only watch new ones ... but I haven't been keeping up on scrubs since the network change deal. I think I like house the best of those two though ... fantastic character.
Nevinleiby: I am more efficient when I've got a lot to do. When its just school, I find so many ways to dick around. When I've got more going on, I tend to focus better.
When I first started school, I got out of shape, and all I did was study. But it wasn't always quality studying. I'd say I spent the whole day studying, but half of that would actually be farting around on the internet, or just staring mindlessly at my notes. The result was that I was right around the class average for my first term.
As the year has gone on, I've developed a system, and become more efficient. I'm working out very regularly, getting in pretty good shape again, I volunteer at Grady, I try to make it to the free clinic once or twice a month, and I even have somewhat of a social life (by med school standards). I've even been dating someone for the past few weeks, and so far, so good. And I just took on the responsibility of EM club president, and I will be running for SGA next week too.
So far, the more I have taken on, the better I've been. My second term, which was much harder than the first term, I blew the class average away.
My point is that the time is there. Its just a matter of how you use it. Developing a functional system for studying is important, and sticking to it strictly. With that working for you, everything else falls in line on its own.

Soooo not impossible as a DO. Integrated?? Yes, impossible. 5 years g-surg -> AOA PRS fellowship, not impossible at all.

Stopped watching ER when Dr. Greene died.
hahahahahaha!! Whoops, guess I don't watch greys anatomy..you're in the clear then. But would you rather marry the REAL Kate Walsh or the fictional version of her in the show?? that is the real question!
That episode STILL makes me cry like a baby.
I love ER. It's honestly why I got into medicine, when I was a kid my grandmother and I used to watch it together and she'd always tell me that if that's what I wanted to be when I grew up, I could. because I could be whatever I wanted.
