[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who works at a hospital:

-hospital sheets any color but white.

-doctors feeding, ambulating, transporting patients or even staying at a patient’s bedside! Create that expectation, Greys Anatomy, and leave it to us to explain why Dr. Jones didn’t spend the night at our son’s bedside following his surgery.

-using a defibrillator on a patient that has flatlined.

-not showing/making the storyline include other hospital staff besides doctors. In reality, patients see doctors very briefly during their hospital stay. More often they see the CNA, the RN, the NP, the PA-C, PT, OT, RT… Those are rarely shown and it not only glamorizes the doctors/surgeons giving the impression they single handedly run the entire hospital, but also creates the expectation that your doctor will do the same. They won’t.

-People giving birth to 6 month olds.

-CPR being successful so frequently. People who do recover from CPR being just fine and dandy the next day.

-this is a peeve of mine because I work with neonates, but the vital signs on the monitor not matching the age of the patient. A heart rate of 55 is totally normal for a person my age, but very alarming for a newborn.

What drives me crazy is the dark, moody lighting in a hospital room, or police interrogation room, or wherever. These places are *flooded* with fluorescent light in real life.[/quote]
