What medical shows do you watch?

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?

Specializes in LDRP.

I am now addicted to Grey's Anatomy, thanks to this thread--I went out and rented season 1 and DH and I watched 8 episodes over the weekend! ;)

Yes, I love my DVR!!!! I have Grey's Anatomy and Saved set to record all new episodes. I tell everybody that I'm on the lookout for my own George at the hospital! I used to be a very faithful ER watcher, and I think it's still set on the DVR, but it doesn't get watched very often. I also love a lot of the stuff on Discovery Health - there are some FASCINATING shows on there! I also record House, but all the nurses on there are ever used for is "clean-up on aisle 3" as House shouts out. The docs on there do all the transports, meds, blood draws, etc. It's really annoying. And how many times have you seen House jab somebody with a syringe w/out cleaning the site first? Just once I would like to see a nurse on the show who shows some competence! But it is an educational show and challenges my thinking.

I watch mostly TLC/Discovery Health shows like Trauma: Life in the ER; Dr. G, Medical Examiner; Untold Stories of the ER; The Critical Hour....

I don't really care for the medical drama shows on the networks...too much like soap operas for me...

I'm with you, Sonya! Dr G even offers us little exercises in critical thinking with the way that the cases are presented. Another Discovery Health show that I enjoy is First Days, although I haven't seen it in a while.
