HOSPITAL staff are demanding a much better television programme about their incredibly hard jobs than Casualty.
Doctors, nurses and ambulance drivers have said that the fact they deal with life and death at any given minute should warrant a show that is as good as The Sopranos or even First Dates.
Dr Tom Booker said: “I saved a man’s life today, God damn it. It was fucking mental.
“Then when I watch Casualty, my job looks like some boring arse mundane tripe which isn’t even as interesting as Gogglebox.”
Heart surgeon Dr Mary Fisher said: “I spent 14 hours performing open heart surgery on someone last week. That’s essentially the tension of every Alfred Hitchcock movie rolled into one.
“However, when I watch Casualty I can happily go and make a cup of tea at any point in the show without missing much.”
Asked as to what kind of show they would rather have based on their working lives, hospital staff suggestions included ‘Mad Casualty: Fury Road’, ‘something watchable’ and ‘anything without that bloke Charlie in it’.
Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute for Studies said: “It’s not that Casualty is that bad, it’s just that it’s about as realistic depiction of a hospital as Mike Bassett: England Manager is of modern football.”
“Actually, wait, that’s a bad comparison.”
