The Beautiful Hospital

In "House," impossibly gorgeous physicians miraculously diagnose rare diseases in every episode. Where I work as a nurse, in the Ordinary Hospital, sometimes there's not even a doctor in the house.

    PS, I forgot

    sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not interested in watching a TV show about nurses. Bandaids gross me out. IT's the scientific inquiry that is so intriguing about medical shows and it is doctors who do that. I don't think people are interested in a show about the logistics of taking temperatures, blood pressure, etc. It's importatn work, but not interesting enough for a tv show. Hey, it's OK, no one makes TV shows about my career either, but I don't take it personally. TV is entertainment, not reality.
