    This is one of the reasons why ER is one of the best medical drama shows ever created (spoiler, greys anatomy is not on the list :P ) they give the nurses Credit and show that without them, nothing would work. They are truely the heart of an ER and medicine in general.

    • @farhasyed599brovsbro
      @farhasyed599brovsbro 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Exactly…as I watched Grey’s Anatomy…it was all about Doctors and Doctors sleeping with other Doctors. Or Doctors titled to be the best in their field..they gave no credit to other hospital staff. as I re watch ER, from the first episode on ward it was about the Emergency Room, patient cases coming in. Doctors working with nurses…The front desk clerk..

    • @lexi219
      @lexi219 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's interesting how people feel the need to bring up Grey's Anatomy when the topic is ER. What's the point? It's a completely different show that has nothing to do with this one, and there are plenty of other shows with a hospital setting. I wish people would respect ER enough to not go on and on comparing it to something else.

    • @GermanLeftist
      @GermanLeftist 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@dangermartin69 That is not really what Abby is criticising here though. What she is going on about is how the ER has to be creative and has to bend and sometimes even break the rules because of their load of patients that nobody else wants to treat. But why does nobody else want to treat them? For once, they don't have insurence so who pays for them? In a universal single-payer system that problem wouldn't even arise but the US doesn't have one of those. So all the private praciticses and for-profit private hospitals send these patients to the County, a state run hospital that has to treat these patients. But because they are running tight on budget they don't have the nurses to admit them all to the specialised ward because then what you said would happen, so the patients are given minimum care at the ER. Only that the ER is also running thight on budget and has way too few nurses, physicians, and physician assistants to take proper care of all the patients coming through their doors. It's a fundamentaly broken system in which costs plays a larger role than the wellbeing of people that results in this outburst.

    Amen.
    My mom was a nurse.
    Nurses keep hospitals running.
    The culture is slowly changing, but nurses still get viewed as somehow lesser in status than doctors by a lot of "old school" MDs and administration, not to mention governments and popular media. Shows like ER, as great as it was, still reinforced a lot stereotypes of hierarchy. Doctors aren't *above* nurses, they have two different jobs and skill sets. Both are exceptionally difficult, but there are things doctors are simply not allowed to do because of rules and protocols. Nurses don't work *for* doctors, except maybe in a private practice. It bothered me that first Carol then Abby explored going from being nurses to doctors. Carol's arc stopped that early, but Abby finished med school and became a doctor, as if that should be the goal for nurses. A lot of fiction does that as a way of "levelling up" a character, because in the minds of many writers, it's not enough to be a nurse.

      They stopped the trajectory of the Carol character becoming a doctor because Julianna Margulies requested for it to be stopped. She said that her character would be very proud to be a nurse, and didn’t like the storyline of her becoming a doctor. Therefore, they recycled the storyline with the Abi character.
