New Amsterdam: Rise (2022)
That's not how the nhs works.
Not quite sure what the intention was in presenting the British government as deciding to withdraw life support.
As Helen said, it's nothing to do with the government. The doctors can apply for the child to be made a ward of court if they think the child is suffering enduring futile treatment and the parents are not acting in the childs best interest. It is all completely independent of the government, and only done once it is clear there is no chance of recovery.
The parents have the right to appeal the decision. It is last resort, and certainly not decided and done in 24 hours.
A ridiculous idea as well to put a terminally ill child on a flight to america, were they planning on hopping on a british airways 747? It would take days if not weeks to organise a medivac flight capable of providing that level if support, and who's paying for it?
The whole thing seems at odds with how New Amsterdam is trying to fight the monetarised healthcare in the US.
Chicago Med: The Poison Inside Us (2018)
Spoiled by outstanding medical inaccuracy..
"Here- give one of these to everyone affected"
"What is it?"
"Hydroxycobalamin, counteracts the effects of cyanide"
*hands over cyanide antidote kits*
Next scene:
"As everyone knows, there is no antidote to cyanide"
Seriously? If something counteracts the effects of something, it's an antidote. Cyanide antidote kits are not new and are standard first aid in many areas.
I know tv edits facts to fit the narrative, but come on. Not only wrong, but contradicting itself. Get a new medical advisor.
