Did You Know

Despite being a comedy-drama about a nurse, the real nursing community was highly critical of the show claiming it portrayed nurses in an unethical and negative light, to the point that the New York State Nurses Association asked Showtime to add a disclaimer to separate fiction from real medical practice. Showtime refused, arguing viewers could distinguish drama from real healthcare portrayal. Many fans were shocked that real medical professionals protested the show’s depiction of the profession.
