  • What you described isn’t an ER, it’s called another thing that I can’t recall in english sorry.

    I’m Spanish and we have one of the best healthcare systems in Europe even though other Spaniards complain. Here you call and can see your family doctor in 1-2 days where they see a patient every 15 mins non-stop almost, or go to a small ER-like thing where they only do triage work. They are almost nonstop in triage too, think McKay on The Pitt.

    If you need to go to the ER though, Urgencias here, there will be multiple doctors ready to take care of whatever is happening to you. Last time I went with my mom, we were in a room called a Box where the doctor came about every 30 mins to review the case or present results. Idk what they were doing out of the room but they looked busy.

    Also, for context, Whittaker (the dude that gets the drug skilled), Santos (the woman that’s the bully kinda type in the first chapters) and Javadi (the youngest girl that gets sent to triage after fainting) are student doctors who still haven’t finished their degree, they are doing internship. Those are usually more free than others because they mostly need to shadow actual doctors.

    Also the reason there’s so many people waiting is because most patients that aren’t in need of urgent care should be sent upstairs, where more nurses would take care of them; it’s not that the ER doesn’t have the manpower, it’s that they don’t have the room. The show does explain that but maybe not fast enough for you, idk.

    Aaanyway, sorry if I’m being overly verbose, I really don’t feel like working RN :)



  • Those employees were assistants, not even nurses. They couldn’t help with patients even if they wanted to. It’s not that big of a deal Sheesh.

    The nurses can’t legally provide that medicine, it has to be a doctor. That’s the first day for that student doctor, he fuck up and changes way faster than in 30m. Again, first day, has to search for changes and everything himself.

    Idk why you think that they are lazy, did you expect everyone to be stressed out of their minds in the first 1-2h of their shift? Considering that the first and second hours is when the night shift gives their hands off to the day shift, there’s a bunch of doctors and nurses that are out of the clock in those episodes, ending their shift and winding down before getting out.

    You are allowed to dislike the show off course, but have you seen a workplace?

    Also, edit:

    Watched like 2.5 episodes and had to give up

    The whole show is like this

    How’d you know?














  • Not quite, I’m not a native speaker either so sorry if it wasn’t clear.

    I meant that for the Canadian astronaut and all the Spaniard and Canadian teammates that have made this possible, Trump talking about the US is as if the US astronauts were to receive a speech from Pedro Sanchez about Spain.

    No wonder they look like they don’t care, it’s not the place to talk about the US.
