The best part of watching old episodes of House is my surgeon wife arguing with the TV: "That's the anaesthetists job! Why is there even a neurologist in the room??"

I do this all the time with ALL TV medical fiction.

I’ve been annoying my wife (and other people not in medicine) about this sort of thing in medical TV going back to “e.r.” in the 1990s at least.

There was a really moving episode of ER that had a cascade of events that ended in a birth going badly wrong. About 10 minutes in, my dad said, "If they don't send her to the OR now, they all deserve to be sued," and walked out of the room.

I remember that episode. It was from the first season. The writers seemed to have thought up every obviously contrived reason imaginable that the mother couldn’t go up to Labor & Delivery and that OB/GYN wasn’t available.

Nonmedical people find that episode really moving and dramatic. Medical people (like me) have a really hard time suspending disbelief sufficiently for that.
