It does scare me when people say that green wing is the most relastic hospital programme. Just makes you think how hospitals are. I mean i love green wing, but i wouldn't go their if the charaters were the doctors, if you get what i mean
Yeah it is kinda worrying, seeing as I was in a coma for quite some time. After watching episode 1, series 2, it kinda makes you think. But then I think that if Doctors were more like Mac, Guy and Boyce I would have to start falling down the stairs more often
I said words with my mouth, you heard them with your ears, you understood them with your brain. Is that correct?
Ha ha! Yes I totally agree. Unfortunately the only times I've ever been in to hospital I've had moody, old doctors - more similar to Doctor Mancoo (or however you spell his name). I think "dishy docs" are a myth!
Did you read the interview with JRT where he said they went and viewed operations taking place and the doctors were all off their rockers?? If I ever need to have an operation I think I'll be quite nervous in future...

Did you watch "Bodies" - starring that lovely Ewen McGregor look-alike? That would really make you afraid of hospitals! When I had surgery a few years back I was nervous, because doctors here have been known to carve their initials in patient's bellies as a joke, or accidentally leave sponges and things inside, and and they perform the wrong operations sometimes, too. When I was a teenager I went to the doctor for a check-up and was told I was pregnant, which made me furious since I was still virgin at the time. They angrily told me I must be mistaken. I've never seen a doctor who looked remotely like Mac. I did meet one who looked like Eric Stoltz, that's the best we can do here I guess
apparently SM has had doctors/anaesthetists come up to him in the street and tell him that gw is more realistic than shows like casualty, and that he is like a hero to them. he said he hopes he never gets ill. i have to agree.

Oh a head and wall incident...I collapsed and went into a coma. Was in one for quite a while, and I have brain damamge because of it. Therefore I have practically no memory and my attention span is significantly shorter than it once was =[. Still annoyed that I didn't wake up to any Mac/Boyce look-a-likes though.

My mum works at a hospital and I asked her if there were any nice doctors and she said at first that there was one that looked like Mac (calm down JRT fans) and then said she was joking Knowing that I fancy him, and that they weren't that nice really. Shame.
I don't know - in interviews thay do reckon that it is the most realistic. And I would be inclined to believe them - judging by the sheer silliness of some people (like me and friends and teachers at my school etc etc!) I can very well believe some of the horror stories! I think it would be stupid to assume that doctors never do anything to amuse themselves...only ever having any contact with them when they have to do their (very responsible!) job sorta gives a skewed view of how sensible they are, I bet! Having said that, I pity the patients if there are any Guys/Stathams out there. A Guy anaesthetist would be nothing short of terrifying! But on the plus side, it would SO be worth it if there was a Mac too!

Ah but you're about to disperse the myth and tell us that he looked nothing like JRT aren't you??
Maybe it's best that there aren't many doctors like JRT and SM out there - I mean can you imagine the increase in female patients?? - I for one may have a slight but rather serious accident if I was guaranteed a "dishy doc" - all the pain would be worth the gain in my opinion...
Okay I am majorly gutted, accroding to my mother, I had a very, very dishy doctor who looked something along the lines of Mac....only slightly more blonde. Only when I woke up he was on holiday....it's jus one of those things you'd prefer to remain ignorant of isn't it.

Yeah, never has the phrase "ignorance is bliss" fit so perfectly! Ah well, at least there's one Mac-a-like out there somewhere!!
XTinker_Bellx maybe you need to go back and tell them you think a check-up is urgently necessary and you need a particular doctor...!! If they ask you the name just say...oh I'll know him when I see him and wander round looking for him!

Dishy docs do exist we used to have at least two or three come in on the rota every 6 months.
As for the show being realistic - it definitely is. People in the medical profession have to deal with some very depressing and tough days - therefore the silliness helps let off steam. I remember being chased down the corridor in Casualty with an 8ft long toilet roll by one of the A&E registrars at 2am - and that's one of the more tame stories
I've also seen a cardiothoracic surgeon talking to everyone in theatre about the joys of baileys whilst doing a quadruple coronary bypass - and the anaesthetist was eating Rich Tea biscuits and doing the Daily Telegraph crossword. The beauty of it is that people can do this and still deliver a good quality of care.
