Nurses, Dr. Kildare, ER and House

I wonder why I watch medical tv shows. You would think a nurse would get tired of going from the drama in the hospital to the drama in the living room. When I was a young teenager it was because Richard Chamberlain (AKA Dr. Kildare) was such a "hunk". It didn't matter what the story line was. When I first became a nurse it was so exciting to actually understand the vocabulary in ER AND get to see George Clooney and Noah Wiley at the same time. And now I watch House because it's on right after American Idol and I'm usually too busy sewing scrub caps to change the channel! Actually, it's a really interesting show. The old thrill is gone that I can understand the lingo and Hugh Laurie is no George Clooney, but the show gets a few brain cells functioning.
