19 things medical dramas tend to get wrong about the healthcare industry

13) Operating Room Drama

Trending

Medical dramas often depict operating rooms (ORs) as high-stakes environments filled with dramatic confrontations and emotional outbursts. In reality, ORs are highly controlled, professional settings where teamwork and focus are paramount to ensure patient safety and successful outcomes. For instance, Grey's Anatomy paints an often-prevalent picture of the operating room where surgeons are arguing and confronting each other. Such behaviors would be totally inappropriate in the practice of real-life healthcare.
