The most absurd medical show in history
I'm not exaggerating when I say that this show has more drama than general hospital. Every episode has five or ten little subplots. Every single little thing is the last helicopter out of Saigon. The medicine is absurd, and coming from someone who works every day in emergency medicine, I can tell you that no hospital functions in any way close to this show. But for some reason, I just can't stop watching it. I know it's absurd, I know every single thing it is just abjectly stupid, but something about it just keeps me sucked into the stupidity, the drama, and the ridiculous, over the top characters. I will say that it's expertly shot, the music score is fantastic, and the acting is absolutely top notch (Luis Guzman in particular is an incredible stand-out, there really are nurses just like him out there) but certain aspects just drive me nuts. The high-school romance, sending on-call physicians out into the field (this just doesn't happen) and how every single patient is somehow the most heart-wrenching thing in the world, all blends together into this mushy pea-green mess that I personally can't stop watching, and if you aren't in the medical field, you will probably love too. But everyone I know at work apart from me absolutely HATES this show, and I know deep down that i can't call it anything more than a guilty pleasure, because there's certainly no realistic reason why I should like this overly dramatic, schizophrenic television show.
