So, I've never watched this show until now (2024). I saw a few shorts of it and it looked interesting. Now that I've watched a few episodes, I'm a bit confused about all the hype.
This is so embarrassingly formulaic. Here's the breakdown: Person gets admitted to hospital with something Doctors misdiagnose Patient gets worse Doctors have meeting always with whitboard in use Patient has a seizure and must be defibrillator Patient goes into coma Doctors are still confused Parents/guardian/friends put pressure on and/or want to move patient Doctors try something else (unsuccessful) In the meantime, patient has had more blood and tissue taken than a grave robber Lots of "testing" in the lab and/or fossicking around the patient's home Eventually, the doctors stumble on the cure.
Most of the time, I've guessed the cause and/or ending half way through the episode.
There are no spoilers because EVERY episode is EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!
Oh, and no mention of the lifetime of debt for the patient and their families to pay for tests, ICU, 4 specialist doctors, umpteen days in hospital, medications, procedures yada, yada, yada, as this all takes place in a US hospital.
