The Show
There are usually 3 different "stories" that they tell, simultaneously. Throughout the telling of these stories they are reenacting the actual events, sometimes they even have the real patients as the actors. They are also interviewing the attending Dr's, nurses, patients, and family/friends of the patients. It's all very dramatic and entertaining. Sometimes it's even funny! But, I warn you, it is not for the weak of heart....or stomach. I don't have a weak stomach, but, I had to look away a few times!
My Take
I work in a hospital, though, not as a nurse or physician. I am only in the office, but, even there I have had patients collapse in the lobby, children having seizures, we have even had babies born in the lobby!!! (I guess that is why I am so fascinated with medicine and the trauma shows that are on!) I don't directly work in the ER and the hospital I work at is small and in a rural area, but, after watching this show, I am truly awed at how calm the staffs were, and while most nights are probably not as exciting as these show depicted, the staff of the ER's are highly trained to face traumas, big or small, stay calm, do their jobs and save lives. It's fascinating watching them at work (even if it was a reenactment! lol). I have a whole new respect for the ER nurses and physicians I work with!
This show is about what really happens in the ER when they are faced with life and death. It's exciting, dramatic, and real.....just what I like for a rainy, lazy Sunday afternoon!
