Paying by show might be the way to do it! Have any of you read Bill Bryson's notes from a big country? He returns from living in the UK for 20 years and moves to New Hampshire. In one article in the book he discusses the joys of cable TV - that the same program will be shown at the same time for weeks and months and there is almost no initiative with the shows. Sometimes it feels like everyone went hey, there's more money in movies, we've got copies of all the TV shows from the last couple of decades so we'll just show them again and again and again. I suppose in the UK we're lucky as the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) insists that a certain amount of programs have to be new each year and they fund a range of programs including quizzes, dramas (historical/ love/ general life) and documentaries which means that there is the possibility of some novel programs unlike what I experienced when we lived in the US.
Casualty (a medical drama TV show in the UK) has apparently shown one episode about CRPS - (I haven't seen it, I just knew about it as my aunt is the head make-up artist for Casualty and my uncle is the medical props supervisor). It sounded pretty interesting but it was just a case of a person visiting casualty (ER) and getting CRPS as a diagnosis. I've never really got into Grays Anatomy or Scrubs although Royal Pains isn't too bad. I think that House is the only medical program (and one of very few other TV medical dramas) that addresses pain, who and how it can impact and the role of ignorance and misunderstanding of pain by those around you and the doctors. Thanks KS for introducing this subject... always interesting. Anyone have any suggestions for decent TV or programmes? Love Rosie xxxxx

As a nurse, I hate the show House because, as was mentioned before, this little team of three doctors does everything from drawing blood to heart surgery all alone...hello?! Unrealistic and a diss to those who specialize. As a person, I love House...I love Hugh Laurie and his wry sense of humor. I love the puzzle of figuring things out, which is one of the reasons that I love nursing. Alternatively, if any doc broke into my house, I'm afraid I would have to kill him!
