mattg Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Did anyone watch this new medical drama that premiered last night... wow... for anyone who things House has unrealistic daily diagnoses, Grey's has too much sex and extreme cases, Private Practice is just bad... watch this show... absolutely ridiculous, it's the most laughable thing I've seen on tv in a while... you have a guy walking in from off the street (nobody knew who he was) and starts doing a surgery in his t shirt, no gloves, no prep, no mask, no cleaning, no one knows who he is, but all of the surgeons are loving it... you have a team of surgeons doing like 5 surgeries at once... you have OR's in which the surgeons just walk into from the lobby and start doing surgery immediately, again, no masks or anything, no cleaning or prep... you have the chief of surgery undressing and walking out of the OR nude in the first minute of the show... you have (non)witty banter going on throughout the surgeries, zero resemblance to doctors, while this is supposed to be the team that gets all of the emerg cases on the verge of death... terrible acting, terrible catch phrases, cheesy characters, zero resemblance to medicine in any way... I know shows like Grey's Anatomy are unrealistic, but wow... this one is a joke... I give it 8 episodes before it's pulled (not because it's so incredibly unrealistic, but because it's just a terrible, cheesy show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbjones Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 saw a bit of it.... I would have to agree with your comments. I stopped watching after the first 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontariostudent Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Really weird show. I'm stopping after 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haruka Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 You have to love the punctured carotid artery that no one noticed until the last 10 minutes of the show. I watched the entire show hoping it would get better... sadly, that's an hour of my life I won't be getting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 What's this attraction for medicine-based TV shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Med practice and law practice based programs like House, Boston Legal, etc. seem to be a recipe to catch fire for large based audiences....a recipe that works.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 With a title like "Miami Medical" I wasn't expecting anything good. Fortunately, the show didn't let me down in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 What's this attraction for medicine-based TV shows? I don't know - maybe it is the "exciting" life and death crap, which is probably more interesting then doing paperwork all day. Most of the shows have major surgery components - way over represented compared to the 13% of med students that actually go into that field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Stark Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 What, you mean thoracotomies aren't an everyday occurrence in the ER? I actually saw most of this show the other day, but the sound was down and I wasn't really paying attention. It certainly didn't look good.

fourtytwo Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 My favourite mess ups were: -surgeon securing the airway; where's anesthesia? -a resident trauma surgeon bagging during surgery; no RTs at the hospital? -burn victim being extubated to say goodbye to his wife; guaranteed that his throat would swell shut immediately upon extubation, and now he dies gasping for air in front of his wife -- nice. -burn victim on a ventilator seemingly without meds of any kind; that kind of patient would be full to the ears with rocuronium, morphine and propofol/ketamine. -they wore glasses, which is nice (docs on other shows never wear glasses during surgery), but they chose to not wear masks. Presumably every patient who enters the OR at this hospitals dies of sepsis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree, this show is completely screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illa Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 the show was tortuous to watch. I agree that with a title like Miami Medical you can't really expect too much, but I dunno I kinda thought it would be more like nip/tuck but more G-rated. I was just so confused when the 'surgeons' weren't wearing any masks, first time that happened I had to turn the tv off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's up with this sitting on the roof of the hospital with your legs hanging over the side? I kinda wanted to push him off. Yeah, ick.....corniest medical drama ever And Nip/Tuck....loved it!
