What do medical professionals think of new TV dramas like Pulse?
Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng and former nurse Amie Archibald-Varley unpack what's fact and fiction on TV
The Netflix medical drama Pulse is just the latest in a new batch of hospital shows currently dominating today's TV line-up.
There's other dramas like The Pitt and Doctor Odyssey, as well as the workplace sitcom St. Denis Medical. But between tropes like outlandish disasters and the ever-taboo workplace romances, what do real-life doctors and nurses get out of watching their professions reflected back on screen?
Today on Commotion, Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng and former nurse Amie Archibald-Varley join host Elamin Abdelmahmoud to unpack what the latest slate of TV shows about hospitals gets right and wrong about this moment in healthcare.
You can listen to the full discussion from today's show on CBC Listen or on our podcast, Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud, available wherever you get your podcasts.
