Untold Stories of the ER

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous how's that the idiots at TLC has produced. With the camera constantly moving and zooming in and out, the ridiculous acting, manufactured drama and inane story lines.

I find this show quite unique. It is not like any other medical shows on t.v. Like my sister is watching Grey's Anatomy right now, and it is good, but I would rather watch Untold Stories of the ER, than Grey's Anatomy. I love all of the stories in this show, they are very interesting and it has really opened my eyes to everything that doctors do. It has also helped me understand things that go on behind the scenes of emergency rooms. It has also helped me understand just how stressful a job like this could be. It definitely gets in depth, and shows how much a doctor of the ER has to go through. I would definitely suggest this show to very many people, especially ones that are planning on going into the medical field.

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 .

The show has some bad actors. But what makes it not tolerable is the camera crew. Swinging the camera firm side to side to make it look like a live action scene. It's annoying. Also at times they shove the camera in peoples faces. Cannot watch it.

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!!"
