      I not only read that, I cited it in my blog about her pilot episode.

      I didn't see the pilot of #TheResident when it aired, but all the discussion online led me to watch it on demand. The first four minutes, with a patient undergoing an appy exsanguinating in less than a minute and then everyone colluding to cover it up told me how bad the show is.

      Along with the surgeon not knowing how to control haemorrhage (really?), exsanguinatimg in 15 seconds, doing CPR on the abdomen, and calling the code within 25 seconds. And then the collusion to cover it up. Really??

      I was discussing this with a surgeon friend, who talked about a case where a surgeon hit the aorta by accident with a trocar during laparoscopy. The patient required many units of blood but survived. Patient's don't exsanguinate that fast.

      I get people shot through the liver who don't exsanguinate. But this appy bled out in the OR in 15 seconds? Good grief.

      I know. I'm still trying to figure out what the surgeon hit. Even if you transected the aorta, the patient probably wouldn't bleed out that fast.

      Replying to @gorskon @DocBastard

      Through all of this I'm still failing to see the extreme harm that is unique to this show that justified the need to be called out by Dr Eugene Gu. The largest harm I have seen is doctors eroding trust on Twitter with toxic language to non-colleagues when discussing healthcare.

      It was my language that Gu called out, and rightly so. I went overboard. Bit he's never seen the show.

      Consider the people who may need to here the corrective medical information you want to share. That audience would be fans of the show. Toxic language about it could be a turnoff. Strong refutation of something dangerous.. I think that's ok. I don't enjoy debate, but my two cents

      I understand and agree, which is why I deleted those tweets. Doesn't matter because she screenshot them and reposted them to her followers, then she protected her account. Nice little echo chamber she's created as Dr. Gorski said.

      Also, they use tone trolling as a weapon against critics who are so angry about the utter bullshit being presented as "realistic" in #TheResident that they might use strong language. This is an intentional tactic: Piss doctors off and then complain when they get emotional.

          Dr Gorski -- I understand you are angry. But I think Gu has opened a door that the audience might respond. I dunno. I appreciate the good work you all do in the name of good health.

          I have no doubt you are correct. But it gets them the publicity they want and need. So to that end, I'm done discussing it. No need to give them more exposure that they don't deserve.

          On the other hand, if no one pushes back, then the public will assume. that #TheResident is realistic and making valid criticisms of medicine.
