I watched a couple of episodes before I turned it off forever. It is the worst depiction of ER life I have ever seen. It is more like a video game than a show. It should be a soap opera not a evening TV show.
The characters all have unbelievable back-stories.
They are all clichéd.
They apparently don't have a medical consultant, as the medical care is laughable. They apparently don't have a medical ethicist either. Every time they get to the crossroads of a moral dilemma, they take the wrong turn.
In case nobody told them, you can't cross-match and do heart surgery with ER docs in the O.R. If an ER doc went to the O.R. he'd be laughed out of the room. Oh, writers for this series here's a clue: resuscitated people usually stay on a ventilator for a while and have IV's and stuff. People that sick, look, well, that sick. There is no social worker on the team, I guess that's a blessing as whatever stereotype of us exists would be through the roof. But they do have a full-time psychiatrist, ON THE NIGHT SHIFT! It was rare to ever see a psychiatrist in the ER let alone have one live there. Oh yeah. If we did have one I doubt she'd be boinking the narcissistic ER doc in the store room.
I could go on and on but won't. Check it out for yourself.
