Who is the person responsible for all the terrible camera work?

I really enjoy watching this show. The stories are well done and interesting. The problem I am having is all of the crap shots used in the show. Good grief, how many fuzzy shots can be used in one episode? Yes, I know, they are being used for "artistic reasons", but they are terrible. And shots of eyes. Over and over and over again, shots of eyes, one eye, then both, both together, slightly tiltedand lots of really bad, shaggy eye brows. I have seen one episode where shots of eyes was appropriate, the story involved something happening to the eyes, but what is the deal with all the others?

I agree! I have health problems and all the bouncing and fuzziness makes me more dizzier, this is a health show that makes certain peoples health problems worse?!

I can't stand the eye shots either! This is a great show and I've learned a lot from the few shows I've seen, but the eye shots are annoying!

I completely agree with you! I love this show and I think that they subject matter is dramatic enough without all the weird and unecessary camera shots. I can't even tell you how many eyeball shots I saw in tonights episode and I absolutely hated it. People stand to learn a lot from shows like this, I know I have, but if the network had any idea how many viewers they may have lost because of the bizarre camera work or how many they could potentially have if the camera work wasn't so distracting maybe they'd change things.

Imagine how many eyeball shots we'd see if the episode was actually about an eye condition.

That being said and if it hasn't already, I'd love to see this spoofed on SNL or Mad TV.

Yeah, I know. The camera angles and editing are so over exaggerated.

the eye shots are for a reason. when the patient is feeling hopeless or has run into another dead end or something of that nature, the eyes close. when the patient has had a revelation or has found a doctor that can help them or something of THAT nature, the eyes open.

I think everyone understands WHY they use them. We just find it really annoying.
