Real Stories of the ER

Published

Specializes in ER.

Hey, I've been watching Real Stories of the ER on TLC. I'm very, very impressed with the way they are depicting nurses! We have so many shows that are horrible! The physicians talk to the nurses about their cases, and ask their opinion. Of course it is still focussed on the docs, but we are portrayed as essential to the team. It's great to see, like a cool breeze. Take a look- you'll love it.

I also like "One Born Every Minute" because it is mostly about the interaction between nursing and the patient. I have only seen a couple of shows but it is so much better than the "Grey's Anatomy" and "House" shows which seem to flawlessly run hospitals without nurses around at all.

SAME! I was not on shift that night, but I heard about it from my co-workers... everyone was surprised to see how true to real life the actual episode was and that they did not sugar coat or over-exaggerate the story :)

I only caught a few episodes, but a lot of priapism going on.

OMG! That's like my must-watch show. Never mind that I was disappointed the first time I saw it that there were not 60 babies born at the end of an hour:D but it's entertaining and I kinda like how the nurses are portrayed.:nurse:

Another show I really, really like. I've often wondered if they are true or if there are many exaggerations and alterations by the time it airs.

Did you see the one that had the homeless man with his feet covered entirely by maggots? :eek: Or the one that had the guy that came in with an axe to the head on Halloween and the doctor and nurses almost didn't take him serious(well, they didn't at first) because they thought it was some Halloween stunt?:nurse:

When is this on TLC? I couldn't find it in TLC's web page. I could only find the "Untold Stories of the ER".
