My favorite tv shows
I wouldn't say I watch a lot of TV necessarily but I do have a few shows that I rather obsess over. Thank goodness for DVR because otherwise, I fear my social life would suffer because I'd have to be home at a certain hour in the evening.
Sundays, 9pm Grey's Anatomy.
I thought this show was dumb at first, especially because it came out at around the same time as House MD, did, and it just seemed like all these "medical" shows insulted my intelligence and my almost-four years of medical school education. On Grey's Anatomy, the surgery residents do everything from neurosurgery to obstetrics to handling anesthesia emergencies. This is not Real Life. General surgery residents handle the bowels, neurosurgery residents handle the brain, and anesthesiology residents (not surgery residents mind you) handle the anesthesia. Everything today is ultra-specialized. However, I'm over it. I'm over the un-realistic nature of this show and have come to really like it. Why? Because I think the one part it does well is the emotional/mental aspects of residency and working in the hospital in general. Or maybe I'm just an emotional mess because I tear up in every episode and outright cry during a few. I mean, how do you deal with caring for a patient so much that you will stay up all night, not eat, and run around like a chicken with its head cut off ordering tests and labs and begging the radiology people to please let your patient get that imaging study done today, and then have that patient die? The patient that you were supposed to save? Or how do you watch little babies coming into the intensive care unit day after day because they have been sexually, physically, and mentally abused, such that they now have old and new bleeds in their brain? So that's why I like Grey's Anatomy- because it speaks to that part of medicine that we try and ignore so much of the time.
Tuesdays, 9pm Nip/Tuck
This show on FX is SO AWESOME and totally out of control. It's about two plastic surgeons in Florida who take on the most ridiculous outrageous impossible cases that you cannot even begin to imagine the creativity of their writers. Seriously, this is quality, people. Drama filled with sex, violence, gory surgeries, but let's not forget family, friendship, and love. It's incredible how you love and hate all the characters at the same time.
Thursdays, 7pm The O.C.
I can't believe this show had reruns for almost an entire month. But it's back now and I'm very excited to see the episode I taped last week. I think I'm obsessed with this show because it takes place in southern california, the beautiful shots of the ocean, the mansions that I want to live in one day! (yea right...) and the high school experience that I never really had because I went to an all girls middle school and high school.
So those are the three shows I watch religiously. I encourage everyone else to as well so we can talk about them! :)
