Why does every medical TV show act like nurses, techs, and admin staff don’t exist? It’s always the doctors running the codes, pushing the meds, and diagnosing in five seconds with a dramatic stare. Meanwhile, in real life, half of us are running the entire hospital behind the scenes. What’s the most unrealistic thing you’ve ever seen in a medical drama?

I don’t think I’ve ever really seen a realistic medical anything. The amount of infractions on any one show would not only land a lot of people in prison, but have the whole place shut down the same day. Such is the move/tv magic. Has anyone ever seen one that is somewhat closer to reality?

Because in TVland it looks dramatic and the dr is involved with a stressful situation with some catastrophic event that interrupts a procedure that makes it all the more dramatic.
TVland doesn't like to show a "normal role" (like a cna or phlebotomist or janitor) for a long period of time because they don't count; just Nuses, Physicians Assistant, Doctors.

The worst is the so called "real life" Medical when they reenacting a story-line and I believe there all actors not actual medical staff; unlike the Boston shows....
Boston Med & Boston Trauma had a reality show that was legit.

Code black was decent...lol other than the charge nurses in that ER calling himself "Mama". It shows what nurses do a bit better than most

I JUST watched a show today, can't remember the name of it, but it literally had me thinking this same exact thing. We all know how it really goes in a hospital and especially an ER.
