So, what happens after Thursday?

[Freestyle]

I just watched a rerun of "ER" when Carter matches and he goes out and gets drunk with Harper and leaves his lawyer patient high and dry waiting for his leukemia workup...


... I always hated "ER" with a distinct passion. It would have been better if they got Lou Ferrigno to play a pathologist, or somebody like that.

ER's treatment of pathologists is not the best. They slammed path by saying that Neela should go into path so "she won't kill anyone." Then I still remember an episode where Dr Romano did a late night radical resection of a pectoral muscle rhabdomyosarcoma, "Pathology says all the margins are clean." OK, bub, optimal treatment for this probably wasn't having a heart surgeon do this at 9pm.

ER lost all credibility when Carter quit surgery to go to ER so that he could get to know his patients better.

There was an old episode of ER where Dr. Green goes to the autopsy of a patient whose death really perplexed him. Hoping for answers, the pathologist gently scolds him saying (to paraphrase) "We might never know what killed this man, because medicine is an art, and art is ambiguous."

Looks like my itinerary. except, of course, i am driving there, which precludes the drinking whilst in transport. although it is tempting.

Glad I'm not the only one who can't stand that show. I love it when people say, "Oh, you're going to be a doctor? You must like that show ER."

I never watched it before I got into med school, and after I did I never wanted to.

I think I have seen every single episode.

I don't possess that sort of discipline!
