Not in my south. I had to switch pediatrics to follow my doctor, who left because one of the other doctors and an RN slept with a patient’s father. And they were all previously married. Everyone who worked there was attractive and also crazy. The new clinic is still filled with hot people, but they don’t sleep with patients’ guardians. AFAIK lol
Prior to House MD. Scrubs launched 2001 and House in 2004. House MD is arguably the most accurate medical show to exist, mainly because the majority of wacky medical mysteries came from actual doctors. It is still TV of course, but real stories can’t be beat by Hollywood make believe.
The medical conditions might be more realistic in House, but the process and behavior of people certainly aren’t.
It’s similar with programming on TV. If you look at Mr. Robot, all the hacking methods and computer jargon are really accurate, down to KDE vs. GNOME rivalry, but the plot is total fantasy and nobody behaves as real programmers do. On the other hand, Silicon Valley is more like scrubs - the software is made up, it’s a comedy, but the story and people are 100% realistic (except better dressed, since it’s still Hollywood).
Nah, not really. House has 2 episodes where the writers invented diseases (only 2 on the entire run is very respectable though), but more than that, it’s not realistic to have 4 docs working on one case all week. And the cases are very unrealistic in the sense that a lot are not mysteries. If you’re an MD/DO, you can see some of the diagnoses coming a mile away while House and his team pretend it’s a super rare thing. I particularly remember one of the Lyme disease episodes where I got the diagnosis almost immediately, and I was still on med school.
Yes I remember that. Also it happened more than once that patients seeking treatment stopped by thinking that previously dismissed hospital resumed operations 😂
Voted most accurate TV medical show!
Other than all the babes, but I’m not complaining.
I worked in a pediatric hospital… attractive ladies were a dime a dozen. All batshit crazy though.
This is, uh, not the case in the south, unless you’re into Ruben.

Jesus Christ, how horrible! Which hospital was it specifically so I can avoid them in the near future?
Uh, which hospital? No reason.
That’s exactly my type

The cases may be real, however medicine is never done like in House.
The application of cutting corners, but the actual science and interplay of symptoms is accurate.
Same with Scrubs. What makes Scrubs a lot more accurate is most of the times doctors aren’t dealing with crazy medical mysteries.
