Charité

Very well made and great character studies. There were some inaccuracies such as the setting started out in the Autumn of 1943 and and there is a discussion about heading to Africa to be with Rommel. The North African campaign was lost by the Germans and over by the Spring of that year. Many medical issues and procedures seem correct for its time, but the one doctor was doing mouth to mouth on a baby and that procedure did not come into practice until the 1950s. Perhaps that was to show the doctor was imaginative and non-conformist. An event where the doctors were treating a hemo-pneumo thorax showed the doctors first interested in removing the metal in the chest, when in fact the priority is on relieving intrathoracic pressure via a chest tube or needle decompression and then stopping bleeding and then vascular and tissue repair. Getting the bullet out is something Hollywood has been hung up on from the beginning. The doctor though, does explain why he wants to look for the metal and remove it, perhaps to appease those that would question it, but the priority was off. Anyway, the show is a must for those interested in history and/or medical shows.
