Real Doctor & Nurse React to “Nurses” | Medical Drama Review

NBC must think America loves hospitals, because this year they’ve now bought two medical dramas from Canada! This week, I’m reacting to “Nurses”, a prime time NBC show about... yep, you guessed it: Nurses. Just because I work in a hospital doesn’t mean I truly understand the every day hustle of being a nurse though, so I brought on my friend Bianca Antisera, a traveling trauma nurse, to share her insight. There were a lot of puzzling choices in this pilot episode, from unethical blood donations, patient privacy violations, and the bizarre premise that everyone in a hospital is throwing shade all day long. Anything you think we missed?

[@joygernautm6641]

Was going to say the exact same thing. Every nurse I know keeps a pen light in their pocket, also, nurses are not the ones that “break the news” and explain complex medical diagnosis to the patient family. That is the doctors responsibility.

Hey Doc, combat medic here, a while blood transfer is extremely rare, but does happen in combat zones. There are situations where combat causiltues get stuck in aid stations without the capabilities to store blood (usually waiting on medavacs) and you literally have to put a call out for soldiers with the right blood type and you type and cross everyone then begin the transfer. Its pretty scary, but some trauma patients will die anyways without a blood transfusion so you don't really have a choice.

That was a very nice collab. It's very interesting to see and hear what a nurse has to say about a medical drama and it's accuracy, especially when it is about nurses. Great Job you Two. Peace and Love ✌🏽❤️

Bianca's comment at the end made me think of ER. That show did the best when it came to showing the relationship of nurses and doctors. neither were featured as having a higher importance then the other.

[@sylviawaters7382]

Speaking of having a conversation that should not be done in front of patient… When my mom was at the end of her life the Home nurse told me, in front of her, “she’s actively dying”. We don’t know if my mother was able to hear her, but I was so mad at that nurse we asked for a different nurse for the next visit. 25 years later and it still tears at my heart!

I've been a travel nurse for almost 7 years and almost all the hospitals I've been in has at least have had Filipino nurses!! Why can't shows show this reality lol

[@muthoni632]

The context here is what nurses do not their origin

[@anna_in_aotearoa3166]

@Max Gandor Definitely! Here, Filipinos seem to be the absolute lifeblood of the healthcare system - everything from trauma nurses to old age care. The only bit that worries me is that there's been quite a few instances across multiple sectors where ex-pat BIPOC staff are forced to work under bad conditions, are underpaid, get harassed etc, and I'm dubious whether these personnel would feel empowered to speak up, report this to regulatory bodies/Police, etc if this happens? (Just based on both their home country experience of interaction with govt bodies, and on the way their families back home often depend heavily on their remaining in their jobs?) Really hope the nurses union may have some initiatives in place to help make sure immigrated medical staff are aware of their rights & obligations under the NZ system, and that they have a supportive person they can go to for help & advice if needed...

Dr. Mike, as someone who has looked up to you for years, and does not want to stop looking up to you, please address your situation better on your MAIN channel with integrity and accountability. As someone who is entering medical school next year, I find it extremely important to see your example in speaking about this honorably. Thanks.

[@akshayjumnadas5893]

@@lexisross9457 well I understand some comments tend to be like that. That's why I specifically pointed out this comment. Infact when I heard about this party I was waiting for his response. Until then I never knew he had a second channel. I heard he posted an apology video and I came to this channel to find nothing then I simply searched for this particular issue to find that specific video. Now there are a few problems here. He posted this video on a channel with much less subscribers. Like significantly less. This channel has over six million subscribers while that channel barely even had 100 k. That is 60x difference. And now his apology. Let me be honest it felt like he was trying to justify his action. He did say he shouldn't have done it at the end but the focus should have been that how us his viewers should be extremely careful because the spread can take place even if we take all the precautions, best thing to do is social distancing mask and sanitizers and he may also talk about any quarantine time he is taking before going back to the hospital. Now he is a doctor and a celebrity. This does come with certain responsibility. Even now what ivanna and even I want is a proper genuine apology. One where he is actually taking responsibility and not throwing his friends under the bus.

[@akshayjumnadas5893]

@@lexisross9457 see that's my point. He doesn't have to but there's nothing wrong in asking to do so politely. Ivanna only asked him to do so because she look upto him.

[@IamnotJohnFord]

I'm a pharmacist not at a level one trauma, and we would have the blood, or be able to get it from our local blood bank or other hospitals if need be. This scene was just to make a character look heroic for the show. By the time they got his blood and did all the testing to make sure they could use his blood, they could have gotten pints from so many other sources. This doesn't even take into account the non-blood options they would have at their disposal.
