i'll go ya one better: you should never watch an action/whodunnit movie with an engineer that's also a veteran. i'll be telling you exactly why that particular weapon/system cannot do what they're showing in the movie. and btw, that's a 20 round magazine, not a 100 round magazine and nobody shoots one shot and has the slide lock back and you cannot 'cock' a glock, so stop using that sound effect and......

When ER came out I had just become an EMT. I did not know enough or have enough experience to be critical. I watched the show religiously for years but then became a paramedic. Then I started seeing all of the things they were getting wrong, the treatments they were not doing or the treatments they were doing that were unnecessary, (Mind you this was merely the stuff I knew: Basic Life Support, Advanced Life support, ACLS, BTLS, etc...). It bothered me because Cricton was an MD and they had MD's under contract to ensure realism. I knew they did a lot just to add drama but as I became more knowledgeable and experienced the show became too hard to watch.

I still yell at the tv when I watch reality medic and fire shows on Discover, TLC or NatGeo.

i remember back in the day of "Squad 51" and "Emergency", the EMT's would call in to the ER and the doc would almost always say "start an IV of D5W, like that was some miracle thing. my dad was a D.O., as were 3 of my uncles, so i knew that stuff was B.S. :grin:
