Every medical personnel's fantasy jobs.... :)

I believe that most medical dramas on TV are completely unrealistic. I am an RN, and I cannot believe that the medical world is portrayed in the ways it is sometimes! For example, in "Gray's Anatomy," the doctors are portrayed as basically running the hospital, or should I say the surgeons. There are no other doctors around, when in reality, it's the support staff like nurses, aides, techs, etc who are there with the patients the majority of the time. And when patients are as sick as they are in this show, they require more than just surgeons. It's absurd!

i love ER the day to day drama in the work place and the excitment of the trauma center handling things in a great way

I think medical dramas on TV are mostly about relationships between staff, and do not focus as much on the medical side.

I think medical dramas on tv are soooo far fetched compared to what you actually see in real life. Additionally, there's too much emphasis on the characters' love lives and "skeletons in the closet". They are entertaining though!

I think these shows are perform for what they are intended for. Entertainment. They don't contain realistic situations, and they probably shouldn't be taken seriously, because they are design for "pure entertainment".

I thinkmedical shows touch on that bad things happen and there is people who care and don't! the new show "Three Rivers" is great! Being is the greatest give a person can give in life and death.

As a new nurse (graduated & licensed 2009), medical shows on TV were more "entertaining" before personally entering the medical arena. Before, I just watched the characters' relationships (& all the drama!). As a nursing student, it was fun to watch and say "oh, that term means..." and "speaking of intubating, did you know that..."--- my boyfriend hated watching these shows with me at this point! The more advanced my nursing knowledge, the quicker I was to "catch" the inaccuracies, which made me happy to know that I was learning & retaining all of it. BTW, House is my fave to watch. During school, I considered the 1 hr/wk watching House as "leisurely study time" while I tried to pick the show apart... but I just like watching it anyways for the storylines and Dr. House's sarcasm. Haven't seen a TV show yet that truly depicts the real art, work, and care of good nurses. But hey, that's why they're called "dramas" and have scripts... to get viewers and ratings.

So...Hmmm Medical shows on TV are completely unrealistic. I do have to admit I love Grey's Anatomy but it is not true depiction of what happens in a Hospital. Funny thing is we were just discussing this at work the other day, with the Drs., I have been an RN for a little over 4 yrs and I have never witnessed a Dr. transport a patient to a test, hold the patients hand through a procedure, or spend unending hours listening to the patients every thought. The shows portray Drs. doing the job of the RN or CNA's and I think they are demeaning Nurses by portraying this. These shows give the public and unrealistic view of healthcare and "saving lives." In real life bad things happen to good people and they don't always survive. Patients want to believe that we always have the answer, and of course the diagnosis is easy to figure out, but in the real world it takes time and skill. And Nurse Jackie...is infuriating. Most days I don't even get a lunch break more less time to have an affair with a Pharmacist!! Nurses are professionals and a vital part of the Health Care Team!!
