So. DR. JOHN. Sigh. I’ll just resign myself to the fact that Koreans refuse to consult any medical people for med dramas or that Korean medicine is a different world. 🙄🙄🙄.
The whole setup is bogus.
(I wish michykdrama was still on here. She is an anesthesiologist and can explain better)
1. Anesthesiologists do not perform surgeries. Or diagnose illnesses (well certainly not the way Dr John and the Dr. Whats-her-name are doing). They also don’t deal with pain in the way the synopsis is suggesting. They keep people unconscious and without pain during surgery or manage ICUs (where many patients are kept under heavy sedation). Patients with chronic pain wouldn’t be seeing the anesthesiologist at the hospital – since their problems would most likely not be surgical, and most importantly, they’re awake and not needing to be in the ICU.
2. Anesthesiology is a surgical discipline (even though they aren’t surgeons), not a medical one. You wouldn’t hire an anesthesiologist to be acting as a GP/family/physician/diagnose simple ailments in a prison. That’s not their job or their area of expertise. Especially the way medicine residencies are run in America, Asia, and most of Europe. They simply wouldn’t be competent at it/allowed to do it, because they can’t.
3. Anesthesiologists DO NOT perform surgeries. They are required in surgeries, to keep the patient unconscious and free from pain. It can be very dramatic – they are the ones called upon to keep the patient alive when they begin to die on the surgical table, but NOT because of a bleed. A bleeding patient requires a surgeon to find and stop the cause of the bleeding. Not the anesthesiologist.
4. I’m not sure about the mystery surrounding Dr. whats-her-name and why she is so jittery around hospitals, but if her license has been suspended (which is what i suspect), then she shouldn’t be able to work anywhere, not even in a prison.
5. Her behavior around human error in medicine…..lol. No one can become a doctor who thinks or behaves like that. You simply can’t because you wouldn’t be able to work. And for someone who works in surgery/critical care…..its stupid, unrealistic, and will keep you from doing your job. You can’t think like that (I guess that’s why she’s having a hard time at her job). That’s just the first episode.
So yeah. I spent my time yelling at the screen in frustration. I don’t know if I can watch the second. But we are gonna give it a try because we love Ji Sung.
If I would have read the description of doctor john, I would have never even started this show, lol!
1 You are completely right but to shows defense, other than Ji Sung stitching himself up and then doing standard genius stuff and also being able to do better job GP (cue eye roll), the lead girl did nothing… absolutely nothing ….
2. No I have no idea how they came up with this plot, apparently its a Japanese novel and I was saved from it since I can’t read it, lol!
3. I mean what can I say,… ,
5. The lady needs to find a new job, her IQ is too low to be doctor and EQ too low to stand being a doctor.
What pissed me off was how much misconception the writer had about doctors :
The female lead said “She does not deserve happiness she gets from saving some ones life” … and this was really off putting, she considers herself almighty that she can save people’s life and derive happiness from it… I felt nobody told her to be more thankful instead that she had skills enough to do that and be a better doctor in case not and this is why is a doctor trash… and can’t do anything now…
4. No idea, I thought so too, but I think she is on leave ….
——-
If this was not enough to make you drop it and JiSung is the still holding you, then ep 2 will even test that…
Ji Sung decides to give an almost full length speech when a patient needed to be transported to hospital and was shaking from breathlessness. But guess what drama is more important…
I don’t think I can watch it anymore..
