Every time I flip through the cable channels, there seems to be a new ER reality show. So I thought I would put together a list of one's that I know of. Here they are:
Trauma life in the er
Untold stories of the er
Bizarre er
Las Vegas er
Sidney er
NY med
Boston er
The little I have watched of these shows, naturally it's about dramatic shit. Every time you turn around someone's crashing or they're cracking a chest. So this is what public has come to believe an ER is, one exciting moment after another. In reality, working in an ER on a daily basis can be boring and routine. It has its moments, but really it's about a lot of abd pain, back pain, LOLLOL's, drunks and drug seekers. It's a lot of starting IS an giving Zofran and Dilaudid......*yawn*.
I guess vomiting and grandma coming in covered in stool or Harold the drunk making his 3rd appearance that week doesn'the attract an audience and advertising money.
OMG, I love your blog. I work in a large inner city ER in Northern California and I can not tell you how much laughing and general empathy you bring to my day. Please keep it up, you are totally keeping the rest of us sane.
