The "doctors" on ER would routinely put their stethoscopes in their ears backwards.

Never noticed that? I loved ER, and I was looking. They got a lot right, but not the speed. And they jumped the shark.
My favorite (but wildly inaccurate) scene was in an elevator. Dr Greene who happens to be caring for the patient who was targeting his family (would NEVER frickign happen) is alone in the elevator with him going to OR. He is intubated and paralyzed but not sedated (which can happen). He goes into v-tach but remains conscious. Dr Greene looks at the rhythm and has paddles (again fricking paddles) that he has in his hands. Charges the defibrillator grins at the guy while holding the paddles in the air to say "frick you" and fires the paddles.
Cool for TV, but A. I do not think they would fire if not contacting anything.
B. Dr Greene is holding the paddles near his face when he does this. If the paddles did fire the arc would not be anything I'd want near my face.

But that's so ingrained, the audience expects to see it.
Like a French Baguette sticking out of a grocery store brown bag...
Or a lawyer going on a monologue to the jury while he's supposedly cross-examining a witness...and the other side finally objects and the lawyer puts his hand up and says withdrawn! Right after he basically just told the jury whatever he wanted. And all the judge says is "I'm warning you counselor!"

Anytime the dentist gives a "shot" they always say they got Novocaine.
We haven't used novocaine in dentistry in 7000 years.

I forgot to mention doctors wearing $20 stepthoscopes.

Doctors actually performing patient care. They're in and out of the room faster than Florida handing out pink slips.

In the new ABC show the good doctor, very frequently do the doctors walk into the OR with a patient on the table but not have a mask on.
Other times they hold meetings in the OR to discuss the surgical plan but no one has their hair covered.

Yeah, 99% of what they show in an OR is totally wrong.
I love how they'll walk into the OR with gown and gloves already on, but no mask. I know it's so you can see the actors faces, but still...come on.

I watched 20 minutes of The Good Doctor. Lol
Ridiculous. All the tics and issues of an Asperger/Autism person in a full hospital and trauma setting? Nope.

That's what I was thinking. He may be the smartest person on the planet, but he's not going to make it in that setting.
On another note, is it really never Lupus, as House said, or is it sometimes actually Lupus?

40 mg of Lorazepam STAT! Was on something I seen yesterday.
Did the seizure stop? /sarcasm

This is a great thread. I have no medical background so I honestly thought paddles should be used on a flatliner and Novocaine was the standard Dentist med.
So...what really happens to a flatliner? He just dies?

Pulp Fiction needle to the heart is more accurate than shocking a flatline rhythm (asystole).

To be fair though they only showed your job in one movie, and cousin eddy pretty much shut your arse down too

I dropped out of college to join the family medical practice. It’s all about who you know!

You do chest compressions. Shocking someone only works if they have electrical activity to convert.
