[Discussion] Golden Time

Maybe I've watched WAY too much Grey's Anatomy and House but sometimes the way the medical emergency/patient scenes are played out sort of bother me. In more than one scene the EMT's are running through the hospital with the emergency patient on the gurney like the Wiley Coyote is after them but then when they reach the room, the doctor/resident and interns sort of stand there for a moment as if saying. "Ummm...doh...where do we start?" He sends away his resident leaving him with two very green interns who shake when they have to find a vein and insert an IV needle. And what hospitals are always talking ...I mean ALWAYS talking about moving the patients to another hospital? Not to mention they also can't find OR's available and scheduled non emergency surgeries are never moved for emergent ones? Ummm... I can't figure out if this is just bad writing or an actual cultural thing where in Korea a scheduled gall bladder removal does not get rescheduled for an emergent patient who has multiple severe internal injuries. ???? This was very weird to me. Especially when the interns are looking around like scared little rabbits and sweating over the patients like unsanitary piggies. I'm waiting for this stage of their training to end or something to change a bit as far as these scenes go because they seem a bit rushed and incomplete. I keep thinking; "Did the production team of this drama bother to hire a medical consultant?" Even though I am being critical...I actually still kind of like this and am going to keep watching to see where the human interest/character development part of the drama develops.

I don't understand that either. If you went to medical school, shouldn't you know what to do in certain cases. Another thing, but why is the hospital always full?

Spoilery post! Very Spoilery

I love Lee Sun Gyun too. Huge fan. But I'm getting to the point where I might not be able to watch this. I cannot suspend my disbelief enough not to be annoyed by the glaring strangeness of how the medical jargon/situations are handled. I don't know why it is getting to me so badly. Usually I am really good at suspension of disbelief but not in this case. Probably be cause it supposed to be based so firmly in reality and in the medical world so when that part is all janked up, I can't enjoy it at all.

Do doctors in S. Korea really call in the father of the child to go into the operating room to watch him be operated on? Do they show the father his son's dissected spleen and describe all the complications the child will have now that the spleen is gone? Right there as it's happening with his child still open on the table? Ummmm...

This is my problem. Small mistakes or even made up situations wouldn't bother me but these things are Glaringly bad. Who would ever do that? I don't know...I may drop this very soon.

Eh...I put it on hold. There are too many other dramas to watch that I enjoy much more. My On Hold list is almost the kiss of death for a drama. I don't need screen shots. I just need wav files of Lee Sun Gyun's voice. Seriously...so deep and whiskey smooth. I could close my eyes and listen to him talk all day.

I think I'll re watch Petty Romance. I love him in that movie.
