TV.. Or Not TV????

11 Replies

Having been in and out of hospital for the past 27 years, ten years concerning pregnancy and fertility problems and the last 17 years with RA. You would think I would have had enough of them (hospital that is) but why is it that every time there's anything on the TV concerning hospitals I just have to watch it! it's like some sort of addiction! Lol!

Holby City, I find myself watching it but not actually following the story just the patients! and there conditions. What's all that about?

Then there's junior doctors and one born every minute, all the emergency programmes on the extra channels. I must be mad! lol

It seems to really intrigue me and I don't no why, need to get out more I think before I end up back into a different type of hospital, if you know what I mean.

Sometimes you can catch it on Channel 5 or maybe Demand 5.

It's actually quite funny - Hugh Laurie plays an eccentric american superduper doctor. I think you'd enjoy it!! My description by no means gives it justice so here's the link!

Your probably a hypochondriac Mand!!

No seriously, I always have to have a joke... seriously, I am exactly the same,it drive Mr Shepherd nuts because he likes blood and guts in battles and wars, like 300 and all those blooming Flying dragon type chinese movies. Each to their own!
