Sidenote but bro who played dr. Robby's stepson was a horrible actor. Took me out of the show every time he was on screen.

Just finished episode 9. I wasn’t too interested but my wife wanted to watch together.

It’s cool but definitely loses a lot of the wow factor if you’re in the field and see this stuff frequently. Also a lot of moments on the show seem purposefully written as teaching moments for the audience which I guess is necessary but again it feels like been there done that.

Don’t watch any other medical shows so can’t compare it to anything but it’s mostly accurate. ER docs doing way too much that would be done by other people tho

So I'm a neurologist (just finishing fellowship now) and did my medicine year and 3 years of neurology residency in pittsburgh AT the hospital where this was filmed lol. Parts of this show are filmed on site at the hospital where I did my residency (hallways, rooftop, the areas outside the ED where Dana gets punched and where Robby/Abbot walk out in the last episode, the park where they have beers) and I lived right across from the park where Robby is walking out into the distance at the end. So this show was a little tooooo real for me if you get me.

Granted I'm not an ED resident but spent a lot of time in the ED seeing neurology consults (brain bleeds, strokes, seizures, amongst other things). My take is that each character is incredibly real, I literally feel like I worked with most of these people. Especially Dana (they got the charge nurse personality down to a tee, even her pittsburgh accent). Robbie and Abbot archetypes are very realistic, so is Mel, the totally innocent empath who loves to help people. I knew a super cocky type like Santos who wanted to do all the procedures and rubbed people the wrong way. There was also a guy in our internal medicine residency who was basically Langdon (super talented and competent guy everyone loved, got expelled from the program for stealing pain meds- because he used to be in the military and had chronic pain he was using to treat). So characters are well written, and most of the medical stuff is accurate with exceptions.

The medical students and interns do NOT do that much lol. Granted this was a horrible day for them all but having them do all those procedures is unrealistic. We stand in the back, take history, present cases and usually ask questions for learning. If we are lucky we get to participate in a procedure THE SECOND time we see it, never the first. We don't talk back to residents or attendings, if we know better. I get the show is dramatized and there needs to be interactions between characters but yeah obv unrealistic. Also this show makes it seem like these people have been working together for days/weeks and they've literally all met hours ago. They literally squeeze like 2-3 weeks worth of material/interactions into one hour each lol. The ED CAN get busy, on an average day maybe 2-5 big emergencies is a big deal. But there's also a lot of small stuff- back pain, UTI, headaches, random s*** that just gets sent home from the ED. But obv that's boring and doesn't make for a great show.

Couple random gripes I had- Robby and Collins dating in the remote past?? Noooo way, a resident and a current attending would never happen while she is in training (She is a senior resident and they dated a few years back, meaning she was like a first or second year?? Hell no. Also ED residency is usually 3 years, here they make it 4).

So yeah, great show overall. So weird it was filmed where I trained and now is a huge show that everyone's watching. But obviously I'm going to nitpick because of my experiences.

Oh wow you’re a neurologist. I see a Neuro-ophthalmolist every year for my pseudopapilledema that was discovered on a head mri when I was 10. He tells me the same thing every year lol

neuro-optho is usually opthalmology trained and then they do a neuro fellowship afterwards, a little different from what I do but lots of overlap. And yeah it sounds like you probably don't need to see him anymore lmao
