He is covered by his general surgery board certification which should train you for trauma. Trauma as a specialty is still relatively new. He also mentions his Scuba certification. He is a bigger tool than Conrad.

Now the intern tells his medical students they will see their first patient and don't worry, "there are no wrong answers." Umm. What? Sometimes we say, "there are no stupid questions" but this is also false.

The medical students get in an argument about the patient's murmur. One says it just sounds like, "ken-tuc-key" and I like that answer. It's 2018, if you hear a bad murmur, just get a goddamn echo and stop guessing.

The female medstud says, "I don't hear anything abnormal" and is ignored, she is, of course, correct. Because there are correct answers.

AJ Austin in the flesh seems to be struggling with this trauma. Maybe if he actually were a trauma surgeon he wound start by say, packing, and placing a retractor, rather than fumbling around blindly in a bloody pit like the buffoon that he is.

More drama, some rando girl steals random drugs from an unlocked cabinet, because this is the 80s. Anyone ever hear of a Pyxis? Like they broke into last week when the power was out? Never let facts get in the way of a plot.

True facts, free food is a powerful enticement. The rep says, "gunners skip residency and go to silicon valley." Umm, no. It's hard to invent devices without procedural knowledge. This rep apparently represents all devices. Also she has a hip replacement (on her flank).

Sorry, a hip replacement scar that extends to your costal margin is a sign of a very confused orthopedist.

Somehow this kid survives an AJ Austin splenectomy. Conrad starts working up apparent jaundice in the skating kid. Everyone around him in his family has had cancer. I wonder if they're trying to suggest Li Fraumeni or something.

Intern says, "Every doctor needs to know how to place an IV." Which is a little bit funny, because most of us have fully delegated that to nursing. I can place an U/S guided, but if the nurses can't feel the vein, I don't have special doctor magic, they're *way* better than me.

Back when I was in medical school, there was only one blood draw a day; if blood was needed any other time either interns or medical students would do it. IV teams were nonexistent and most nurses didn't place IVs, leaving it to—you guessed it!—interns and med students.
