Did you catch the first episode of ‘Hopkins’ last night on ABC?
I thought it was a well-done look into the lives of 3 doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital. They did a nice job of focusing on the human element in healthcare rather than the techonoligical side. In my opinion it is in these moments when the real miracles in healthcare take place.
The show mixed in some stories about a few of the patients each doctor was working with. I’m sure this format will continue throughout the course of the show. These stories made me want to pull for them and I’m hopeful that at the end of the series they do a follow-up and give us an update on all of the featured patients.
Illegal immigration and divorce were 2 other topics addressed in this episode. These are big topics that nearly all of America can relate to or are affected by in some way.
I was disappointed that the show only focused on the 3 doctors. I’m really hoping that we’ll see more of the hospital staff in upcoming episodes. Especially some of the great nursing staff! If they spotlight a travel nurse I’ll be really impressed!
If you saw the show last night, let me know what you thought about it.
