Anyone who works in a hospital can tell you that this episode is horribly inaccurate, and not for dramatic reasons, but for political reasons. I love drama as much as the next person but I hate silly personal bias such as this being worked into shows. The entire show is based on lies, not drama.
First, the number of people involved with the GSW is highly exaggerated. A GSW victim requires no more attention than many other traumas. Many people are involved with every case at a hospital and many require more involvement than this.
Second, a hospital does not run with ORs fully booked like shown unless they are poorly ran. What do you think hospitals do when there are mass traumas, such as bud accidents, car pileups, etc.? ALL hospitals keep ORs open for emergencies. If a hospital truly operated the way this one did then they deserve to get shutdown.
Third, can we PLEASE stop showing doctors and surgeons running imaging equipment? RTs perform scans with equipment such as a CT and MR, not doctors. Also, please stop using MR sounds for a CT. A CT does NOT sound like a magnet.
