I used to watch ER, lost interest in that when Carter left, but keep up here and there to test my knowledge....I adore Greys Anatomy - they have some great cases (and good eye candy;) ) and hey, they always seem to be talking about something we're being tested on!

I also watch Trauma; Life in the ER...

Most of these of course are taped for the "spare time" hehe....:lol2:

how about you all?

Grey's Anatomy, Er,House

:lol2: grey's anatomy and house!

Specializes in MS, Tele, Uro Onco, Ortho, NeuroSx, OHS.

I don't have TV, but I rent Scrubs, Nip Tuck, and just recenlty released on DVD White Coat (It's about interns :lol2: in the worst hospital in America, if you like Scrubs you'll find this hilarious)

ER if I am over someone's house.

Bout Greys'...it was asked above if anyone noticed that in Grey's, the Docs seem to be doing nursing stuff. ALL the time! In fact, they often wheel their own patients to surgery and for diagnostic tests (just like the way it is in real life...). And anyone else get a little bugged with the Nurse's Strike episode?...thought it portrayed Nurses mostly in a silly way, even while they were seeming to make the point of how necessary they are. (Still, the show has such nice eye candy...) But back to the Docs doing nursing stuff...if they kept it to the Doc stuff only, it would be soooooo boring. They'd either have to film either the entire show in the surgery suite, or else have to just show the backs & shoulders of Docs looking over a chart and writing in it, trying to make fast getaways, or asking the nurses questions and then nurses chasing after them down the halls for signatures. Actually, if filmed like a real hospital, you'd see zillions of nurses and other support personnel and trying to spot the doc on your screen would be like trying to find Elmo! Not only that...catching the doc on film, actually in the same room with the patient taking the time to talk, would be as rare a likelihood as nabbing a picture of Tomcat's new baby... :lol2:

I love HOUSE!!!! I am not a nurse yet but this show is very educational. I love Hugh Laurie's character...wish I could find a guy like that!! He is so real. I hate suck ups...

Specializes in Orthopaedics, ITU and Critical Care Outr.
I used to watch Scrubs until it conflicted with Lost (I think). It is a hilarious show. I think a nurse is on the writing staff because many times the doctors are clueless and the nurses have to set them straight.

Totally agree - I love Scrubs!

Wow! Lots of Grey's Anatomy lovers here. I'm addicted to it right now. Love some of the eps where the nurses are portrayed positively (eg. when Izzie had to open a patient's chest and one of the nurses guided her what to do). But yeah, interns (and even attendings) here often do the work of nurses.

I also love House, mostly because of Dr. Gregory House's character and his relationship with Dr. Wilson. Not to mention those very interesting cases solved with House's Sherlock Holmes-like skill.

I still watch ER but not as rabidly as before. ER is a sentimental favorite for me coz even now I still remember the first scene where Dr. Greene was awaken by Haleh (or was it Chuny?).

Anybody remember Chicago Hope? I loved that show. I kept trying to find DVDs or even downloadable eps but I can't find one. :o

HOUSE and Trauma: Life in the ER.

Funny thing about HOUSE is that you see MD's performing nurses' jobs a lot of the time.

Specializes in L&D, Postpartum, Nursery.

Gray's Anatomy!!!

Grey's Anatomys and House!!!!!!!!! Not crazy about how nurses are depicted on GA but I love the show anyhow! Funny how they make it look like MDs have all that patient contact.

HOUSE!! Grey's Anatomy is growing on me. I used to watch ER, but I don't recognize any of the characters anymore

Grey's.
