Yep. My sister is an ICU nurse. Confirms these people deal with a lot of sh**... literally. |
Agree! |

Also have a ER doc friend who told me before this season even started that the most unrealistic thing about the first season was how little poop there was. I actually think they probably got that feedback from people last season and sought to "correct" it this season. I don't love it but I get that it's realistic.
My friend also told me that for a Trauma 1 center in a major urban center, it would be more realistic to show more gunshot wounds, both serious traumas and also non-life threatening wounds, it's super common. I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't get highlighted on some future season. A lot of ER docs have strong feelings about gun control because they see firsthand the burden our country's proliferation of guns places on our medical system. Seeing kids come in with gunshot wounds is extremely radicalizing. |
Robby gives a talk to the staff in Season 1 after the they couldn't save the girl who drowned. He talked about his first kid... a boy who had been accidentally shot after getting dad's gun, and right up until he died the boy was worried about getting in trouble. |
| I feel like they’re foreshadowing something is going to happen to Robbi when he leaves for sabbatical like they’re going to have an incoming for a motorcycle accident and it’s going to be him, but then he wouldn’t have a main role in the next season so maybe I’m reading too much into it. |
I agree and I’m wondering if Langdon will be the one that saves him. |
From a motorcycle accident. |
Remind me… What degloving injury?? |
I just cannot handle if it's anything like the George/007/Grey'sAnatamoy accident (was he hit by a bus?). That scene still lives in my head. |
Not enough gunshot wounds? |
My Dad did a med school rotations in an ER in Detroit in the late 70s and saw a LOT of gunshot wounds. |
The second half of the first season was all gunshot wounds. It's possible that the early morning hours of a new day could be gunshot wound free. |
+1 I don’t remember it either! |
| I did not like seeing the poop. Yuck! |
| I did laugh at the poop patient who was familiar with the ER drill of cleaning her out. “Now I feel better.” |
