    While I think it is amazing how this show brings to light the atrocities of the American health care system, I feel as though I know the ending of the episode before it even begins. Most other aspects of this show is good, great even, but it all falls apart when I know what is going to happenThe actors and actresses do a great job at portraying their characters, but it is the story and writing that really bothers me.

    Love this show!!! A suitable replacement for House M.D. that I mourned for ages. Yes, it isn't 100% medically accurate. But if a TV show was 100% medically and ethically accurate, it would be boring as hell. 90% of the show would be watching them do paperwork and clean up poo.The storyline is entertaining. The protagonist characters are very likable and relatable. The antagonists are the hospital equivalent of Marvel villians. I adore that there is FINALLY a TV series I enjoy and can watch with my Mother without having to hear her complain about inappropriate content. Well done, Fox. Now if only you'd bring back "Surviving Jack".....

    Remarkably accurate portrayal of medical practice world wide. The corrupt practices that protect the profession ahead of patient care & it's focus on maximising income underlies the whole profession. If anything this portrays too many doctors working towards standards of practice, sadly the younger doctors are more likely to be compliant & ignore unethical (if not outright illegal) practices. The heirarchical basis of the apprenticeship system which is the basis of medical education promotes compliance & unthinking/unquestioning acceptance & conformity to an old institution which has outlived its day. Very nice to see a Nurse Practitioner as a main character - she mentioned her Standards of Practice in an episode & gave an amazinly beautiful & accurate account of what being a nurse means. I would vote this show 15/10 if I could. 'Way to go' for counteracting cultural conditioning so often expressed in medical programs - maybe show us more positice images of nurses & drop the 'doctors as heroes' crap - its a very well paid job not an heroic endeavour.

    Good show. Well acted by the two main Characters . Well produced . Interesting . Just needs more justice against those who are doing bad things. More balanced story line please. Otherwise worth watching. Pleased that we get another season.
