Ever wondered if slicing open a windpipe with a steak knife is as legit as TV's finest doctors make it seem? Spoiler alert: it's not, and we've got the lowdown on just how wide the gap between Hollywood heroics and actual hospital hallways really is. Settle in for a laugh-out-loud romp through the world of TV medical dramas, where I'll be your guide, breaking down the over-the-top antics of shows like Grey's Anatomy and Fire Country. We're exposing the good, the bad, and the downright dangerous misconceptions these series can implant in the minds of their viewers. It's a journey through the laughable liberties taken in the name of drama, with a firm nod to the moments that do get it right – looking at you, George Clooney.

Think you know how to do CPR because you've seen it done a thousand times on screen? Think again. We're here to remind you that real-life-saving education comes from credible sources, not prime-time entertainment. Join us as we discuss why these fictionalized procedures can be more than just inaccurate – they can be harmful. We also celebrate the times TV gets it right and why those instances are critically important. So grab your popcorn, and don't forget to engage with the conversation by liking, subscribing, and commenting on our Life and Safety Podcast, where we take emergency medicine seriously – with a side of satire, of course.
