You would think hospital shows would freak me out - with all the medical shit I have had done in my life. Like, that scene in ET where they have the kid and ET both strapped down to the experiment table - freaked me out so bad I had to leave the room and I've never watched it since. But for some reason, I was able to watch ER with no problem. I guess because so much of it was about the doctors while the patients were not front and center. There were a few ER episodes I had to turn off - whenever they did a "special episode" and made it from the patients' POV. I also watch House now and so much of it is just about House being a douchebag (you know how I love my douchebags) and Robert Sean Leonard being neurotic and adorable, that I don't even pay attention to the medical stuff on it.

I have medical squick issues - and yet, guys in scrubs really do it for me. Go figure. But it is different than say Bones or SPN, because that is blood and gore, but not illness or sickness - which is somehow different.

Yeah, the chick I love from House was also on The OC as Marissa's lesbian girlfriend and I loved watching her put that whiny little Marissa in her place. I've kind of crushed on her ever since.
