I couldn't get through the first episode I saw. There are so many things about that show that leaves the taste of highly concentrated wrong behind. I have a rare chronic illness. I spent my entire childhood watching doctors tell my mother she was crazy, she was lying, I was crazy, I was lying, I was perfectly healthy, I was a spoiled brat trying to get attention, all because they didn't know what I had, and they didn't care. I can't watch a show about a doctor who doesn't care about his patients, believes they're all lying, and reduces them to their illnesses. Not without throwing things, at least. After all that, when he figures out what they have and makes them all better, it feels cheep, hollow, and insulting.
