This is why most medical dramas are irritating.

Kills me that studios spend so much money getting so many fine details correct and still can't have one expert on set. Hell, just keep them on retainer if not always present.

Saw a great detail last night. In Rush Hour, the Chinese gangsters had Chinese pistols! They're kinda funny looking to American eyes so they stood out. And they were perfectly consistent with the usage. Makes me wonder what details I missed out of ignorance.

Doesn’t even have to be a doctor. An ED or ICU nurse would cover most needs.

One of the many reasons why, yes.
