Insanely bad.
- Intern without an MD but a “bachelors degree” with “summa cum laude in medicine” from Harvard
- Chief surgery resident diagnosing lupus
- General surgery residents doing robotic prostatectomies and gyn surgeries
- Chief of surgery kills someone during appendectomy then blackmails everyone into covering it up
- Chief of surgery blackmailing 2nd year nigerian resident with Visa status
- Chief resident in general surgery killing 5 year old onc patient with “too much potassium”
- Crash central line scene absurd for many reason
- Chief resident just turns off ventilator intending to euthanize patient without getting caught
One of the most absurd garbage shows I’ve ever seen.
What a real show about residency would show:
- 30 seconds of resident seeing patients, most of whom have uninteresting and highly unentertaining problems
- 5 minutes of resident rounding with long bad blubbering med student presentations, annoying platitudes from attendings, pager going off every 3 minutes for non-sense
- 5 minutes of resident answering “urgent” pages about putting in diet orders, bowel regimens, asymptomatic hypertension, escalating opioid drug orders for junkies, delirious old demented people nurses want in restraints for no reason, etc.
- 20 minutes of resident glued to a computer screen writing notes and bitching about the incompetence of the emergency department, their patients, their attendings, their residency program, the nurses, etc.
- 5 minutes of resident making crucial decisions like heparin vs. Lovenox, insulin sliding scales, doing med recs, etc.
- 10 minutes of walking around the hospital like a zombie to get coffee, food, take a piss etc.
- 5 minutes of boring noon conference lectures
- 5 minutes of resident driving home nearly falling asleep and crashing, inhaling a bunch of bad food, and collapsing in bed
