ER as a show is good, no doubt about it. Pretty gritty, griping account of medical life - often shows the personal side of being a healthcare professional - somthing that tends to be ignored because people expect professionals to be robots who don't feel stress, fatigue, heartache or pain and frustration.

But some things that get done on screen give me major creeps sometimes (wrong/incorrect ptroceedures) and othertimes outright funny-kicks (nurses with long, polished nails? HELLLO? I wonder how they do ballotment! Or the manner in which they palpate lymph nodes etc.)

I guess I look at ER the way many veterans might see war movies.
