This show is VERY medically inaccurate


They shocked the patient THROUGH the johnny AND shocked asystole. They listened to the heart on the right side (it's on the left). Dr. Yablonsky hooked up an IV without scrubbing the site with alcohol. And he also told he was a doctor of a patient to someone other than family. VIOLATION of HIPAA. I'm sure there's more. But I love it. And AO'L is just hot.

This show is so inaccurate, it's laughable. Plus, from the very first episode they showed Pica as being a 'hard to diagnose' illness in the kid. They were high-fiving each other and saying great catch over the diagnosis Sorry, but Pica isn't all that unheard of.

They needed better medical writers, they could take a cue from Grey's Anatomy.

Im watching the episode with the bus crash on netflix right now. The one boy has a earring in (I believe they call it a Tragus piercing) and its still there after they have done brain scans. I assume they would have had to take that out in order to do the scans.
