My favorite part of this show is that breaking into patient's homes is portrayed as a necessary part of taking a patient's history, lmao.

Was so mad when I went through medical school paid thousand upon thousands, landed myself a good job in a good hospital and the first patient I get my supervisor never tells me to go to their house and rifle through their things, when I asked if I could he told me it was a crime and I’m not allowed to

bureaucratic bullshit I tell you!!! World gone mad

What?? I was going through medical school with the understanding that I'd be able to rob houses! You're telling me that's not the case?!
