We're joined by Drs. Greg Winter and Scott Herskovitz to discuss the second episode of "Code Black." The show did one thing right - it was a great example of the way doctors in teaching hospitals actually have to teach. Having an ER resident perform a laparoscopic surgery unassisted? That's less accurate. Greg recommended a book called "The Knife a…

Johnny and Dr. Jackson are joined by Dr. Greg Winter to discuss Evil S01E11, "Room 320." This episode features a homicidal nurse - but she's not a great nurse. And it's not a great hospital.

Johnny is drinking from the keg of glory - finally, a West Wing episode! We're discussing the two part season two premiere, "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen."

This week we're joined by our resident "The Resident" expert, Dr. Courtney Nicholas, to discuss S03E10 of Fox's medical drama. "The Whistleblower" is significantly more medically accurate than Johnny expected - even if doctors usually aren't ceremoniously stripped of their pagers when they're fired. In this episode we talk a bit about issues like t…

We're following up "No Holds Barred" with an 80's brawler classic that's actually, you know, good. Unlike Frank Dux, the title of Jean-Claude Van Damme's "Bloodsport" isn't full of lies - this film actually has enough blood! But how medically accurate can a movie based on a "true story" about a made-up street fighting tournament actually be?…

In honor of socially distanced Wrestlemania, we're discussing Hulk Hogan's 1989 masterpiece "No Holds Barred." Is it medically accurate?

Recorded live in isolation, it's our first shelter-in-place episode! This week, Johnny and Dr. Jackson discuss "Scrubs" S05E12 and S05E13, "My Cabbage" and "My Five Stages."

With the increasing global focus on Covid-19, we're discussing quarantine procedures and preventable outbreaks in a story ripped from the headlines (of 2015). In Brooklyn 99's "9 Days," Captain Raymond Holt and Detective Jake Peralta are quarantined together after contracting mumps from a suspect. Their facial deformities aren't really goiters, but…

Jackson, Johnny, and Dr. Greg Winter discuss Seinfeld's "The Suicide," where Jerry dates a coma patient's girlfriend, Elaine fasts for three days, and we learn Kramer's lost his vacuum.

"Lost's" Jack Shephard is a neurosurgeon - so why's he fixing a severed hepatic artery? This week Johnny and Dr. Jackson discuss an episode of Lost which really sheds light into Jack's daddy issues, as well as seeing an incredibly successful cardiac thump. Also, Boone's in this one. Remember Boone?

According to "Lucy," we only use ten percent of our brain. Which is true, in the same way that we only use 33% of a stoplight. This week we're discussing a 2014 Scarlett Johanssen film that is, by our estimation, 10% as medically accurate as "The Human Centipede." FYI, this movie got us pretty riled up, and we do end up using some adult language.…
