    I'm an actor who works with my local medical school, and lemme just say, those conversations about terminal diagnoses and dead patients is SO difficult. I feel so, so sorry for doctors who have to give that news. Also, I'm very glad they get to practice, because some are REALLY not good at it 🤣

    "Maybe not a good doctor, but good monitor!" the way she said that has me in stitches (pun very much intended)

    "These days modern defibrillators are pretty idiot proof" Brilliant

    "Serial killer breaks down serial killers in movies."

    "And here we are, again, using alcohol to disinfect a wound. Again i think vodka would my personal choice. Both for its smoothness and its flavour" 16:06 God I love how deadpan her humour is <3

    It amazes me how consistently Wired finds people who: 1. Know their field front to back 2. Can explain things to people not in their field 3. Have a sense of humor about their field This series is brilliant.

    She just completely destroyed Carlisle's 100+ years of being a doctor lmaoo
  • just a clarification - in The Good Doctor the reason the doctors looked so surprised at Dr. Shaun Murphy doing the surgical knot was because Shaun was a doctor with Autism who'd just witnessed a very traumatic incident in which he indirectly caused the injury to the woman he was operating on, nobody expected him to handle it so well and go on working as he normally would.

    The smug look she gave after she said, "If you are not sweating giving chest compression, you are not doing it right". So cute.
  • @maxchevelle9334
    Dude doing chest compressions looks like he's kneading dough for a pizza
  • @VodShod
    after watching over half of this, I realised that it probably isn't the best thing to watch right before bed at 2 am
  • "Vodka would be my personal choice, both for it's smoothness and flavor." I love this woman.
  • Get a historian to judge the accuracy of historic portrayals in Movies and Television
  • 17:46 Funny enough, it actually adds to the scene that the doctor is doing a lazy fake trauma analysis because he's trying to gaslight Bella into thinking she just had an accident so he can cover up for Edward.
