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

I didn't know you had written about the pilot of
#TheResident. So I went back and found your post and read it. Hilarious. Sadly, your reaction to the first four minutes mirrored my own. I might be a breast surgeon now, but even I can still handle bleeding.1 reply 0 retweets 12 likes -

The worst part is that they have physicians on set who allowed that scene to happen, and that people will believe this type of this is commonplace.

That's not even counting the scene where the cocky senior resident told the FIRST DAY INTERN to run a code. WTF? Then in the second episode that cocky senior resident manipulated the transplant list and falsified tests.

I didn't watch any other episodes. Couldn't pay me to now. I did see a scene where cocky senior resident did a pericardiocentesis unprepped, awake patient, no local, on the floor, going in the epgastrium at 90 degrees. Transverse colon? Duodenum? Pylorus?

In the second episode, there was a scene where the cocky senior resident (CSR) tried to unplug the ventilator of the supposedly brain dead patient that whose code the first year intern (FYI) had run in the previous episode. He didn't do it because a nurse showed up.

I thought about watching the third episode, which was apparently about the Very Famous Oncologist giving lots of unnecessary chemotherapy for fun and profit, but I just couldn't stand it any more.

I know that hits close to home with you and that amoral ass Fata. But that's her MO - find examples of the most hideous things, and make them all happen in this one hospital so people will think this is how all hospitals are. It's despicable.

In my exchange with her, she repeatedly said that her standard for the show is that it had to have happen once for it to be fair game to be dramatized on #TheResident. Well, Fata happened once. So she feels free to generalize Fata's behavior to all oncologists.
