    This was a reply, but I figured it belonged where everyone following me could see it. Truly, #TheResident represents some of the most inaccurate, nastiest, vilest medical TV I've ever seen.https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/958712485577596928 …

    The cold open of the pilot episode of #TheResident represented the stupidest, vilest five minutes of medical drama TV that I can recall ever having had the misfortune to watch. I don't know why I watched beyond it, other than maybe the whole watching a train wreck thing.

        Well written shows write in a pass for their unrealistic parts. In that genre House explained why they get bizarre cases every week in the premise, that's just what House's department is for.

        House would never have gotten away with his behavior at any actual hospital. Also, the same doctor doesn't examine the patient, run the MRI scanner, read the scan, and then do the surgery. That's why hospitals have separate departments.

        Having studiously avoided it myself, I'm wondering precisely what made it so awful.

        I haven’t seen this. What network/streaming service is it being shown on?

        PS- I generally don’t watch medical shows other than scrubs. Everything else is total garbage. The doctors are either supermen/woman or evil villians and the medicine is a joke.

        Jeez just started streaming episode one. 5 min in they are taking selfies during and appendectomy and the patient dies. Then the surgeon orchestrates a coverup and the whole team goes along. WTF???
