      #TheResident our next new episode on feb 26 pulls back the curtain on multiple surgeries. Ask your surgeon if he or she could be running, legally, up to 4 ORs at once.https://youtu.be/PwJbqW8HYyk

      I’ve worked as a med student, resident, and attending in nine hospitals from academic centers to small community hospitals and I’ve NEVER seen this. Stop hiding BS with ‘patient advocacy’.

      Indeed. In most hospitals it's like pulling teeth to get a second room so that a surgeon doesn't have to wait for his room to turn over to start another case and can be more efficient.

      Ah, but your show is not about double booking, is it? It's about triple and quadruple booking. Now that I've got your attention, though, maybe I should discuss the utter ridiculousness of things portrayed in #TheResident pilot and the following episodes.🤔

      Feel free to be a troll. Everything is documented. The legal standard for TV is if it happened just one time, you can show it. Apparently you don't watch medical shows. "House" was nuts. He was an internist who did brain surgery. But it was terrific.

      I did not like "House" much and rarely watched it after the first season. Bad example. Also "happened once" does not equal "is the norm."

          I did not claim the norm, this is a drama on television not NEMJ. The STANDARD FOR US is, if it happened once. You say you are for "science based medicine" but you won't read an article that refutes your belief. Some scientist. Typical, actually.

          How do you know I didn't read the article? That is merely your assumption. Actually I read them all, including the studies mentioned. Have you read the studies?
