The Resident. Does Anyone Watch It?

Have seen the first 3 episodes, each one making me more irate. The actual disease processes and treatments are spot on, but everything else is just terrible.

I’m not going to get into specifics because it would take way too long, but much of the other stuff they do is bullshite. Like the CUTE (code up to excellence) thing that lady was promoting is outright fraud. And the whole opening scene of the pilot would NEVER happen like they portrayed it.

and Melina Kanakaredes is pretty hate-able as the evil doctor.

I was sort of watching the episodes not sure I'd keep it on TIVO, but it's gotten better each week. Last night evil doctor was REALLY something and I'm drawn in more.

I’ve enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t be that pissed if it got canceled.

I’m weirdly attracted to the nurse too.

emily van camp. Even though she's a flaming libtard.

just checked her twitter. my goodness.

I thought I was going to hate it w/how smug the main dude from The Good Wife comes off in the pilot but its been a decent enough show that I've seen every episode.

The admin and docs in charge are all easy as hell to hate.

My father in law has lung cancer so I really want to see that lady doctor experimenting on cancer patients go down hard.

Haven't gotten enough into it that I can really remember the characters names past the main guy though and I think that's mostly b/c Conrad isn't a super common name. Oh and Dr Okafor. Her name is easy to remember too.

with the way the last episode ended, I hope they frick her world up.

Emily Thorne would have never fell for that.

The show is entertaining, but it also perpetuates many of the myths that patients have about the medical field in real life.

If you're a physician or work in the healthcare profession you're never going to enjoy most medical dramas unless you suspend your disbelief. My mother is a law professor and she has the same complaints about legal dramas.

I certainly didn't see the Conrad's dad coming on twist.

Dr. Bell flipping on Dr. Hunter thing was so obvious. That selfish bastard would probably throw his own family under the bus given the chance.
