Hi Everyone,

I think most of us have caught an episode of House, ER, Scrubs etc. Which one is rated, closest to what actually happens in real life?

any thoughts?

Scrubs, hands down (the older episodes)

 

[Holy Frans]

Niptuck! People really do pressure plastics to botox their babies, even though its completely against any type of moral and ethical standard.

House.
Cause we know in real life that a doctor can overdose the patient, use wrong drugs, and nearly kill him without being reprimanded, sued, or fired.

Most realistic TV show? The Venture Brothers.

Boston Med, since it is real with a little hollywood dramatization

👍 Many physicians have told me the same!

... "Strong Medicine"!

Anyone?? 🙄

I've heard the first few seasons of scrubs are a better representation of medicine than other shows.

It's very true - especially since the first few seasons took a lot of material straight out of "House of God" by Samuel Shem (which, if you pre-meds haven't read yet, you must.)

Thanks for the advise, I'll pick up the book on my way home from work.

Real doctors + real surgeries = win

Doctors have told me over and over again that Scrubs is, hands down.

I personally am a huge House fan but I am glad medicine is more closer to Scrubs. If only we could all look like Cuddy/13/Cameron though

Everyone has also told me Scrubs which is good for me at least. Outside of MASH, that is the only medical show I can handle watching. Scrubs is also how I started to desensitize myself regarding things in medicine that I found terrifying.

Anyone ever heard of St. Elsewhere? It's old, but I think it's also pretty true in some respects.

That show is a fail. The whole thing ends up being an autistic kid's daydream that takes place inside a snowglobe, as revealed on the last episode.

Also, whoever said House is realistic is a *****. He would've lost his medical license on the first episode.

It was a good series. Feel free to edit your post to not ruin the ending...

I think I smell sarcasm.

Good advice. I wasn't finished watching all the episodes 😡

Nurse Jackie

👍

It's actually not a bad representation of an ER, or ER nurses in general (minus the drugs and stuff haha)

Keepin it oldskool.

So wrong.

St. Elsewhere, aside from the Bob Newhart ending, was the most realistic of medical dramas.
