I have never taken the time to write a review, but this show is horrible. Last week I had to shut it off do to the Dr going out to the lobby to berate a man for not vaccinating his son (who wasn't even the patient) I am an ER nurse a Dr doesn't have time to see his own patients let alone yell at a family member in the waiting room. What really frustrates me if the patient doesn't want treatment and yet they continue to try to treat or lir about treatment! This does not happen! If you do not want treatment we are very happy to hand you AMA papers! ERs do not have time for these things! Why oh tell me why does the patient never leave the ER? They should be in the ICU but for some reason they are getting ECMO in the ER! This is not reality! I isuallu love all medical dramas and I wanted so badly to like this show but it has really gone over the top!

It seems to me like 4/5 episodes includes someone having a pneumothorax. Having had many of these myself I can no longer continue to watch this, which doesn't really bother me much as it's the weakest of the Chicago trio. I only really watched it because it completed the set.

This is an okay show. It's formulaic and predictable. Often when patients first came in, you can guess what their storyline will be based on how other shows have portrayed the same issue. There are no significant twists or plot points. You begin to hope there might be some continuous issues that span more than a single episode, but those are very few and far between. It's decent for something to mindlessly watch while doing something else, but it's disappointing. The characters are bland and flat. I am almost 20 episodes in, and I can't remember the characters names. There is no chemistry in the romances. The main character, Dr. Rhodes is very one dimensional and lacks a personality. It feels like half the time he's on screen it's for someone to reaffirm how special he is. The female characters don't really have backgrounds, and the limited backgrounds of those who have them are defined by the men in their lives. All the attorneys are awful people. It's painfully obvious when they're breaking down medical jargon for the audience when their patients repeatedly say "in English, please!" or "But what does that mean!" There comes a point where it just seems like poor bedside manner that the doctors don't know how to talk to their patients without confusing them. I don't feel this is a particularly interesting, original, or complex show.

I am falling in love with this show! i love a TV show that entertains and teaches at the same time. I happen to be a medical student and this show is so accurate! And I love how they show cases of rare or unusual medical cases. This show actually helped me remember some syndromes for my board exams! I love how the doctors, surgeons, nurses, EMTs, lab techs all act like a team and better yet, a family! Other shows might make surgeons talk down to nurses or undermine the doctors. But this show has everyone working together from different departments and specialties with such respect for one another and I absolutely love that! It's only season 1, can't wait to see what else they have in store!
