Hospital things you will only see on TV

In this month's issue of Glamour, there was a list of 10 romantic things that only happen on TV. It was pretty funny. There was only one thing on there that I'd actually done. Yes, I'm guilty of having had sex while wearing a bra. I admit it.

OK, now for my take on things that only happen in the TV Healthcare System:

Dying, critically ill patients are never in respiratory distress, and they are only on the minimal amount (ie..nasal canula) of oxygen.

Critically ill patients always have rosy cheeks and plump, glossy lips.

Birthing scenes are never bloody.

The babies come out looking like 2 month olds.

Hospital staff are all skinny and look like models.

Anesthesiologists are all deadbeats, show up to work drunk, and then they abandon their patient in the OR when they find out he has a bomb in his abdomen.

All the doctors are handsome looking GQ types who have all the time in the world to hang out, chat, flirt, have sex, and go on long lunches all while on duty.

The residents are never tired and they all have great hair, even when they respond to a code blue with Bed Head.

The sun is out when the surgery residents go to work.

The patients are all rich and beautiful.

Everyone speaks English.

Everyone's scrubs are custom made, form fitting, and very flattering.

Someone gets "shocked" out of asystole and 5 minutes later is talking and "will be just fine".

No one ever gets tired after giving 2 minutes of chest compressions.

Drug seekers are easily identified because they are disheveled and have torn clothing.

In an emergency, all the drugs you need are right there, already drawn up in syringes, and ready to go in a moment's notice.

Doctors never get puked on, peed on, bled on, cough mucused on, or pooped on.


Hmm...that's all I can come up with right now.

So you doctors DO have sex in the empty hospital rooms!

You are SO lucky you had sex with a bra on. That means you have giant breasts. I don't even need to wear a bra the rest of the time.
