My wife is a surgeon and we love medical shows, said it was incredibly accurate compared to other medical shows (for example, not shocking 24/7, but only on afib, etc.)
One of our friends who just finished her EM residency said that it reminded her too much of work, and could not watch it. Take it for what it’s worth!
Absolutely the most accurate medical show I’ve ever seen. No question.
But XRay is always short changed on TV. Usually ignored entirely. On The PITT it took 7 hours to see the first XRay machine. In the second episode, they reduced a fractured ankle without taking images. Crazy
They tried, CTs were backed up for hours, and if you need to ask about an MRI you couldn’t afford it.
The triage was beautiful, probably unrealistic (you really try to spread out casualties better, not sending everyone to one trauma center) but maybe it was realistic.
It is very good, if you’re into medical dramas.
But as an XRay tech, they don’t do enough XRays.
