Is whether all the doctors and nurses are hot and have significant and poignant conversations at every turn. Or whether I'll be able to watch another medical show after I'm out of there.
This particular hospital seems to be run almost entirely by women, though the occasional male doctor or nurse appears to stir things up a bit. Depending on your point of view, this would either virtually eliminate any drama or perhaps create drama where none really exists. The nurses are pretty in about the same proportion as people anywhere are pretty. The conversations, however, are more like what you hear between the checkers at Acme than anything on TV. When's break? Where are you going for the weekend? The boss (or in this case, hospital bureaucracy) is a pain in the butt. I've got too much work. I don't have enough to do.
Since life in a hospital has absolutely nothing to do with TV hospitals, I don't think I'll have any trouble with medical shows. Life in the hospital reminds me of what they say about being a policeman- 99% boredom and 1% pure terror. We haven't really had any terror, but I've been doing nothing for 99 or even 99.9% of the time, then occasionally some issue comes up that requires a bit of brain power. Otherwise, it's like having a total vacation at the most boring, uncomfortable place ever. And (for me anyway) without the beds. I used to like sleeping on the couch, but not anymore.
