Untold Stories of the ER

forgot actor sanjay madhav who also appears on this show. i have seen the episodes and they are really interesting, unique stories. it's hard to believe those things happen, but i guess a lot of odd things happen in the ER that the general public doesn't know about. many doctors are really tested in trying to uncover illnesses that are not obvious on first inspection. i hope there will be another season. most of the show involves re-enactments. they are pretty good. we also get the storytelling from the actual physicians that handled the ER cases. each episode features 3 separate stories so there is some variety that really keep the viewer interested. i thought that these stories might be bored, but the dramatizations helped keep the stories entertaining.

This is kinda interesting because I am fascinated by things like this . My biggest problem with the reenactments is that there is no way that any hospital emergency room would ever let as many people into the treatment areas as they do . I only know of hospitals , even in rooms that have patients who are admitted , to having maybe a couple of family members allowed at a time , in contrast to this show which shows sometimes 6-8 visitors , maybe even more .

Not surprisingly , the medicines given are often inaccurate drugs and especially inaccurate doses .

The radiology departments seem to be available much quicker than a real one would .

Anyway , my real complaint is about the visitors and the other stuff mainly fillers because of minimum character requirements .

This is a pet peeve about the show; some parent/partner yelling at the staff to help the patient, accusing the Doctor of incompetence when answers aren't available yet, and just being royal pains in the fanny. Also, how many hospitals allow relatives etc, INTO the E. R. to hover all over the place, sometimes screaming at each other around the bed?

No hair coverings, no masks .... cheesy & unrealistic dialogue make for a train wreck of a series. Yet oddly (hence the generous rating of 5), it's easy to binge-watch.

When the mystery diagnosis eludes these paragons of the Hippocratic Oath, it's guaranteed a hot-headed control freak shows up to holler .... "Do something, Doctor!!"

For real here. The stories are fantastic but are you kidding me with these reenactment actors? I'm sorry but this is possibly the worst acting i have ever seen! And sadly that takes away from the likability of the show because it's a sad story but i can't help but laugh at the horrible way these 'actors' portray the gravity of situations! For example: would a real doctor just put her head down on her desk when finding out she just did a procedure that might have killed her patient? I'd like to think not! Please let me audition for this show! I could certainly show more genuine emotion than that!

This is one of the most unrealistic, over the top, "classic American reality" meets the fabricated world of the teletubbies (that even as kids was as realistic as an episode of Jerry 'with the everyday midget fight and his final fake Farewell' Springer show). What is already a stressful, highly pressurized profession has then been insulted by being exploited and further dramatized, dismissing any real life patient experiences in favor of entertainment, ratings and money making! All medical professionals deserve their daily work to be recognized, but this to me is riding on the bandwagon of shows that already make light of the crap storm that these people have to deal with on a regular basis. #stopstrikesrecognisetheirworth
