iirc the single most common criticism of House ever is "where are the nurses", which is also a criticism of almost all medical shows ever, and "this medical mystery is based on real Stuff but much simpler real stuff than they're acting like"
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I think so, y
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I'm always fascinated that apparently scrubs is the most medically accurate
autumnal li
Yeah
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Or well. Was. idk if that's still the case.

(And I mean, the two criticisms I just mentioned aren't the kind of critique she's making here, which is about representation of technique, jargon, etc, and it doesn't surprise me at all that House gets a lot of the details right)

But Scrubs is also one of the BIG exceptions to "where are the nurses"
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
oh yes
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Grey's, I think, has a FEW nurses
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
enough that I notice them
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I mean, none are main characters

I WILL NEVER ESCAPE THAT WORM EPISODE OF GREYS

From a conservation of details perspective it makes sense that stories about doctors have few nurses in them because you write scenes with the patients, you want your main characters to do most of the talking. But honestly we need more shows about nurses.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
We DO.

and not like nurse jackie please

...I forgot what I was goihng to say
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
damn you, brain
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
oh right.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
one of the things I like about General Hospital is that two of the main characters are nurses
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
but tbh, VERY FEW of the scenes are actually in the hospital unless there's a medical plot running
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Or like
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
more of the people just happen to be THERE
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
...tbh, more people seem to hang out in the hospital on GH than one might think someone who doesn't actually work there might do

I watched this video about Scrubs and the doctor in it theorised that the reason why Scrubs is more accurate is largely because the cases weren't the focus - usually - in the same way, so they don't need those one in a million cases and stuff, the focus is different overall
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I think I've seen that video!

How accurate is SCRUBS first episode? Real doctor vs...
this one!
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
but yeah, I don't think I've seen a ton of cases on scrubs where it was all "HOW STRANGE IS THIS CASE". I think I can name like
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
maybe one?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
and that was because the episode was "find us a weird case so you can go to this thing"
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I have seen that one!
