Okay I have a thing where the more they market something the less I want it, so I actively avoided this. For people who watched it, is it good? Worth it?
It is very good, if you're into medical dramas.
But as an XRay tech, they don't do enough XRays.My wife is a surgeon and we love medical shows, said it was incredibly accurate compared to other medical shows (for example, not shocking 24/7, but only on afib, etc.)
One of our friends who just finished her EM residency said that it reminded her too much of work, and could not watch it. Take it for what it’s worth!
Absolutely the most accurate medical show I've ever seen. No question.
But XRay is always short changed on TV. Usually ignored entirely. On The PITT it took 7 hours to see the first XRay machine. In the second episode, they reduced a fractured ankle without taking images. Crazy
I probably wouldn’t have started watching this on my own but my partner did and I couldn’t ignore how good it was.
I’ve been watching it, and it’s really good.
I had my doubts and avoided it too but it’s really good. And as others have said it’s the most realistic medical show I’ve seen on TV. Well worth a watch.
It's not really my thing but I watched it with my partner and enjoyed it. High quality medical melodrama.
