Rewatching the show after a decade of EMS and now nursing experience. Sometimes the show impresses me with how diagnoses and treatment are accurate and logical. Sometimes… not so much

In the first season:

Patient in asystole is defibrillated, asystole is not a shockable rhythm.

“Did you check the EKG? Patient is anemic” not something you can tell from EKG

Patient gets extubated to be let go and they just untape the tube from his lips

Tons more I’m sure. Obviously the main cast/crew being MDs as well as nurses, rad techs, lab techs, transport, etc

Still a brilliant show and highly entertaining. But just curious, other good examples?
