Medical Shows (and their guest stars) - No the defibrillator doesn't work that way

[Scarlett Johansson]

I was watching an old episode of E.R. and I was surprised at how many recognizable actors were on it in main cast and guest roles. But of course same can be said for all of these dramas.

Here's just a sampling of people who guest starred

Nick Offerman
Angela Bassett
Ewan McGregor
Jessica Chastain
Dakota Fanning
Wentworth Miller
Aaron Paul
Quentin Tarantino directed an episode
Kirsten Dunst
Zac Efron
Shia LaBeouf
Lucy Liu
@Susan Sarandon

And it was actually a main role but Stan from American Dad was on the show (the guy smoking)

Also i gotta bring up the unrealistic medical stuff on shit like Grey's Anatomy. But it goes for all shows. This includes:

Defibrillators not being used correctly
Interns competing to see who can get the fastest patient diagnosis
Sex in the broom closet during work hours
Pregnant women giving birth hours after contractions start
Interns don't really have time to socialize

Also I vaguely remember a clip from a drama where a dog ended up eating a donated heart. Does anyone know what this is from because its bothering me

A lot of wild moments happen on TV, but the One Tree Hill scene where the dog eats Dan's heart remains hard to beat. The entire series was beyond dramatic, but this moment will forever go down as the most memorable scene in OTH history. As fans know, Dan Scott was a horrible person. After years of making the lives of other people miserable, he got served a major dose of karma. It all went down in Season 6, Episode 18, "Searching For a Former Clarity," where Dan was meant to receive a new heart and undergo a transplant. However, that didn't happen — all thanks to the person carrying the organ tripping and a stoned dog.

As a kid, Operation Ouch was a very eye-opening medical show; literally. It was pretty informative, though, so it wasn't all just medical gore.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Apparently there was an actor on ER who played a homeless man that dies on the table. It was his last role because the actor was gunned down by police at a Halloween party or something prior to the episode airing. It was a big scandal because the judge ruled in favor of the cops iirc

My favorite part is always the dramatic huddles about how they have to come up with a strategy to not convince the patient to leave AMA.

In reality the nurse is like "okay, here's your form" and I'll just see they left AMA on my messenger and just shrug.

My sister still watches Grey's Anatomy, but even she has her issues with more recent episodes.

Anyway, here's a Japanese promotion for House that's also a crossover with Black Jack:
