    Didn't like Adam, Suzi didn't fill me with much confidence, but I can't wait to watch the big dude, he looks awesome.
    If i get into medical school, I know I'll be a doctor like Suzi (IM A BOY TOO)

    Whats wrong with her?! I thought she was great?

    Adam and Suzi are so going to end up sleeping together. You heard it here first, folks.

    It did seem more realistic, there was less flirting, more paperwork and some work actually got done.

    I really don't think it was all that outlandish.
    (Original post by Daveo)
    It wasn't that bad
    I don't mean that I didn't enjoy it; I did (if I didn't then I wouldn't watch it next week).

    It was just the little things that bugged me, but perhaps I was exaggerating. I'm just picky!

    Overall, it was certainly interesting, don't get me wrong.

    I really liked the part were they showed him doing paper work because when we think of Doctors we usually think of them saving life's being in scenarios as suzi was in A&E or like a GP, it was interesting to see aside from that, that they also have to do paper work and work abnormal hours constantly.

    I'm not sure, she just gave me a weird feeling.

    Suzi reminds me of the hot blonde surgeon from surgery school on ITV, obviously less attractive though

    Adam was probably the most entairtaining of them all by far:

    ''I want to change the world'' while driving his expensive car on a countryside motorway, presumably to winger about paper work.

    The beginning was cringeworthy, the end was decent. Though, I'm confused as to why the F2's were overly worried, surely they had clinicals and F1 to prepare for this? The title is also very misleading, imping that they were directly responsible for a patient's life - I don't think the ward consultant would be too happy about that

    Also, that old nurse was an hag

    I thought it was all right. They even included the FY1 doing paperwork to make it seem more realistic. I especially liked the bit where they set the kitchen on fire. One thing though, with the rectal exam, why on earth didn't the patient ask for his face to be pixelated? That would have embarrassed the hell out of me!

    By the time this series is out, that's not all he's going to be popping into her mouth.

    Yeah, that guy looks really cool! I'd like to hang out with Suzi but the fact she's a doctor is sort of... scary? Adam just made me laugh! Well, cringe! But I suppose it's the same thing! I want to hug Kathyrn, she just seems so sweet but so scared!

    Yes. But you made me laugh so it's all good!


    I'm getting the impression so far that Suzi doesn't really know what she's doing... we shall see.

    I thought it was an interesting episode overall, but for the most part didn't show junior doctors in the best light.

    I couldn't watch it on T.V. Family is obsessed with that 90201 or whatever it is. I tried to watch it on iplayer but my internet is crap. So I'm going to download it from iplayer tommorow. This is usually the case with all T.V. series's I'm always the last to watch it. . I really need to buy a cheap T.V with freeview.
