Review of Malpractice

Malpractice (2023)
4/10
Credibility Disaster
9 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I watched about ten minutes of this show, until a credibility issue so disastrous showed up that made me disinterested in continuing.

A man armed with a pistol, waving it around, has invaded the ER. The heroine runs TOWARD the spot. (Already we're on thin ice.) A police officer warns her to keep back. Undaunted, she pushes the officer aside and races in to confront the armed man.

Are you kidding me? She knows nothing about the man. She knows nothing about the situation. She hasn't the slightest idea of the circumstances that led to this dilemma, or the immediate history, the motivation of the terrorist, etc., etc. But - boldly - SHE"s going to take charge and resolve the problem. Yeah. Sure.

No one in his or her right mind would behave like that, not even a doctor with a God complex. If you are going to do a drama that's supposed to be somewhat realistic, you might consider grounding it in reality.

I don't know what was coming next, but if this is going to be the level of common sense of the balance, count me out.
