A cartoon of a show

MartinG-19

I read the majority of the comments and the person who thinks this show deserves an "award", should have her lithium levels checked. This show is so unrealistic it is an embarrassment to any psychiatrist who works in a Psychiatric ward. As, I mentioned earlier in a previous comment TV is Not ready for what really happens on a "Crisis Unit". The only ground-breaking theme within this show is that it actually made it to Television. Enjoy it like a cartoon because that is the closest to realism as it gets................and I know I have Directed a "Crisis Unit and In-patient unit" for 23 years. I realize this show is entertainment for some and most people viewing it does not care that it is accurate or that the medication used is wrong in dosage. But the accuracy of the patients is another insult, where is the screaming, the chaos and the urgency of the patients on the unit, Everyone wants to be D/C regardless of the voices or their instability and risk potential, each week they treat one, I see between 10-12 patients daily and this does not include the commitments, patients brought in by the police. When one of the Dr.'s office was trashed and staff watched............... realistically, it would have been coded and security would have restrained the patient and medicated him if he continued.........hospitals do not tolerate office destruction nor do clinicians...........just stupid not dramatic......keep watching and the Acme anvil is bound to fall on your head.

score 2/10
