The older she grows, the more her little sister loves to watch British dramas.
Especially the short, pithy kind.
Its unique British painting style, British humor, British irony, the stories told are always both exquisite and profound.
And in many British dramas, Xiaomei especially likes the miniseries produced by the BBC.
Don't look at people who are big documentaries, in miniseries, it is also an absolute old driver.
No, recently the BBC produced a medical drama, and the Douban score rose from 9.1 to 9.4.
There are also many "tap water" in the comments section recommending it: "the best play ever in the BBC" and "the first five-star drama in 2022".
How bullish is it? So let's look at --
"Pain Is Inevitable"
This Is Going to Hurt
The main actor of this drama, Ben Weishaw, everyone must be familiar with it.
He is the serial killer in Perfume; Mr. Q, the techie of 007; and the leader of the Liberal Party in British Scandal.
Every time it appears, it brings unexpected surprises to the audience.
This time, he incarnated as Adam, a male obstetrician and gynecologist.
Not only was huang violent and discouraged, but he also had full marks for his cannon skills, and his words were not surprising and endless.
Spit Hospital:
"This is a dog-bite-dog place."
Interns who complain about not using a new computer:
"If this thing doesn't work anymore, I think you'll be unemployed."
In short, from senior leaders to new and old colleagues, no one can hide from his mouth.
Not to mention the patient he took over.
The vigilance of the pregnant woman who is about to be in the basin is too low, and it is easy to show the lower body;
He also complained that the patient trimmed the lower body hair too uniquely;
Even the newborn, he did not let go...
However, Adam's poisonous tongue was not born without virtue.
Instead, it was forced out by a bad work experience.
Working 97 hours a week, almost continuously, sometimes too tired to fall asleep in the car.
In the case of manpower shortage and heavy work, we must also endure the accusations and complaints of the leaders.
For example, in the opening chapter, Adam meets a pregnant woman who is about to give birth downstairs in the hospital.
He probably checked the situation of the pregnant woman and found that the fetal position was not correct and the situation was urgent.
So, Adam raced against the clock to take the pregnant woman to cut a short path to repair the elevator.
When I arrived at the delivery room, I found that the situation of the pregnant woman was worse than expected, and the intern had no experience in delivering babies, so Adam had to personally go to the battle and successfully helped the pregnant woman complete the caesarean section.
The clothes were soaked with blood and the whole body needed to be washed.
That's what Adam did every day, so he was so busy that he didn't have time to rest.
But even so, what he received was not praise and praise, but questioning and dissatisfaction.
The leader focused on him, who was ten minutes late, nearly killed a patient in the maintenance elevator, and wore civilian clothes for surgery.
These are not the worst, and the various strange patients he receives every day are the ones that make Adam the most headache.
Racist people who do not want black people to deliver babies;
There are things stuffed in the lower body that cannot be taken out;
There are also those who have to eat placenta and say that they must always be young...
In short, only what you can't think of, nothing he can't meet.
Adam summed up this situation brilliantly:
"Life is like a delivery room, you never know what's going to happen the next second."
Looking absurd, right? Shocked, right?
But this is not the brain hole opened by the screenwriter, but the real experience adapted from Adam himself -
"Absolute Laughter of the Abandoned Doctor's Journal"
Adam was an obstetrician and gynecologist for 6 years, and after changing careers, he published this "Memoirs of Male Doctors in Obstetrics and Gynecology", which directly became a phenomenon-level bestseller.
At the same time, people can't help but be full of respect for the doctor.
Because behind these funny daily routines, there is a bitter history of the blood and tears of a doctor.
For this job, he has basically no private life, and is often recalled by a phone call in the emergency room while on a date.
In order to keep his position, he also had to endure the overtime tasks assigned by the scum leaders, who ignored his hardships.
Even if the work intensity is high, the psychological pressure is also extremely high.
Unlike other doctors, obstetricians are responsible for at least two lives at a time.
It is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for sloppiness.
But no matter how miraculously Adam rescued patients and children, a single complaint or a bad review could easily ruin his career.
One day, a pregnant woman who was 25 weeks pregnant came to the hospital.
This pregnant woman was already Adam's "regular customer", usually fond of fuss, and had to come to the hospital three times a week.
But when asked what was uncomfortable with her, she always answered what she asked.
One will say headache, one will say foot pain.
He also stuck out his tongue and asked Adam in horror, "Why am my tongue full of small red dots?" ”
Adam was speechless: "This thing is called taste buds." ”
Subsequently, Adam, who was very busy, sent her away as usual, but unexpectedly, the pregnant woman went home and had a problem.
Placental abruption leads to premature birth, and the child, who was originally only 25 weeks old, came into the world prematurely and could only be rescued in an incubator.
Pregnant women also nearly died of heavy bleeding on the operating table.
This experience plunged Adam into a deep sense of self-blame, and he was nervous, frightened, and unable to sleep at night.
Worse still, the accident left him with anonymous complaints from patients and a colleague, and Adam was likely at risk of being fired.
Some people may say that if you work so hard, you must make more money.
But in fact, as a doctor in a public hospital, his income is not directly proportional to his workload.
If you get your clothes dirty, you have to pay for yourself, and your salary for the day is nothing.
Compared with private hospitals, Adam's hospital is a heaven and an underground.
One is luxurious decoration, five-star enjoyment, idle death;
One is that the facilities are old, the wards are chaotic, and various conditions are constant.
Doctors and patients are each aching in a flawed healthcare system.
But who really cares about the predicament they're in?
As Adam complained, "Every three weeks, a doctor commits suicide, which should have been on the front page, but no one cared." ”
Although this drama is labeled "comedy", the reason why Xiaomei is fascinated by it is not because it is funny.
It's real.
Real hospital scenes, doctors and patients.
As well as real workplace problems and industry dilemmas.
They are not actors suspended in the play, but the general public who really exists around us.
Many people say that the outbreak of the epidemic in the past two years has been a snooping and amplification -
It spies on the ugliness of human nature and at the same time magnifies the beauty of human nature.
These beauties come from a good deed and a persistence of mortals.
It's more from the brave and fearless retrogrades.
Because of their efforts, the whole country has not been crushed.
This time, he protected us in distress, and after that, we have to protect them as well.
Let us have more understanding and understanding in the process of medical treatment.
Don't let the irreparable tragedy happen again.
