for future reference: writing for medical dramas and procedurals

i was watching Three Rivers the other day.  they had a storyline where a patient waiting for a heart transplant, who all the doctors had come to care so much for, needed an LVAD.  ummmmm.

TV Writers:

Just letting you know, every time anyone mentions an LVAD on any medical drama from now until whenever, all thoughts go Grey.  Every single scene will have Izzy and Denny hanging out reading charts, playing jacks or practicing their jazz hands.  They’re going to be pulling attention from everything you do.  You might want to rethink it.  Or try an RVAD, instead.

It’s just a suggestion.

*If you’re writing for Hugh Laurie, keep it moving.  There is nothing to see here.
