Doctor shows often show them wearing masks less often than they do in real life because they want to show the actor's faces. It's the same reason they come up with reasons for superheroes to not wear their masks. |
Family Bonds, also on HBO. |
| I loved how Robby and Garcia got into it regarding the necrotic fasciitis patient. Robby was frustrated because Garcia wanted to take the time to get a CT with contrast first before surgery. Robby said how about the surgical steel test - and proceeded to cut open the patient’s wound to prove it, forcing Garcia to surgery before a CT. |
I actually gagged watching it which I guess is a testament to how good the acting is. |
| I can’t believe they did not wear masks for the poop scooping! That’s totally unrealistic! |
That’s not acting. That’s the producers thinking gross will sell |
That’s the reality of the ER, lots of impactions, and lots of stuff inserted in rectums. This isn’t a gross out show, it’s meant to be a fairly realistic portrayal of an under resourced ER today. |
This was great. |
Superheroes aren't real things. Doctors are. |

Glad to see things are catching up with Santos, maybe she'll be gone too next season. The AI system failing was predictable, but still good to see a rare accurate take on AI, same thing is happening where I work, the AI generates crap but the proponents won't admit it.
Still not as good as the first season, they need some overarching story lines beyond Robbie wanting to leave for vacation. |
| what's up with the woman in hospice? I don't understand the relationship with her husband. do they like each other? does she feel bad that he has to deal with her? |
I think she wants to end it/her life. She seems ready to go. They gave her that super powerful oxy pill because they thought she was being discharged and would need a bridge until her morphine drip machine was delivered to her house. She may be trying to OD on purpose. Heart breaking. |

SO MUCH SHIT AND PUKE.
In other words, like real life or something. BUT SO MUCH PUKE THIS WEEK. RIP Louie. Sup with Dana's soft spot for the inmate? |
I'm not sure she isn't just going to ask to go into a residential hospice rather than hospice at home. I think she's realizing she's more comfortable having nurses care for her than her family because of the professional boundaries. |
He's a local boy, and seems polite and soft-spoken. Seems he might be experiencing abuse from the guards. |
