This week in class we learned a lot about television and its impact to today’s society. We all revolve around our televisions and we wouldn’t know what to do without them, shows and movies we watch are just second nature in watching them. We can thank the previous generations for the tv programs and shows we have today. With the rapid growth in popularity and viewership its the reason why it plays such a big role in our lives. Shows like ER are the reason tv has adapted to what we have now. After watching ER in class I can now respect it on how good it was and how different it was from other tv shows I have watched. They really placed an emphasis on the emergency room itself rather than the characters which is an interesting idea and concept. This way it isn’t always based on the characters but shows conflict on what could possibly happen in the emergency room. The characters don’t necessarily react to each other but they react to the emergency room which is quite fascinating to watch. The way the had to change what they were doing on the fly with accurate information. Showing how such a big an important room being contaminated by a chemical shows how much a hospital needs to run smoothly just to get by. Even in this situation the doctors and nurses were struggling to get the situation under control and needed a leader to step up. With the intern he shown to make small mistakes, but with the little advice of one of his patients he was able step up and make a difference when the protocol doctor got contaminated with the chemical. Seeing that shows how if you have a clear head it is possible to think your way through many situations. And even after that one old women died he thought that she was going to be okay, which shows that he is human so he cannot do everything right and even though he did a great job there was things he could do better. Also the way the doctors had to remain calm in such a high stakes and pressure situation. The doctor that was taking care of the little girl knew exactly what to do and forced the mother to sign the forms because he knew that without the proper treatment immediately there could have been major problems or issues. Even faced with adversity by being locked in the elevator for such a long time, the doctor did the best he could with what he was given in that situation. He was able to pull through at the very last possible moment and was able to save the little girl’s life. It is always great to see how much these doctors care for their patients and what they would do for them. This shows how doctors should be in our life and be caring in their patients and not just act like its a job to paid.
