RE: CSI Miami I-131 Episode

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@EARTHLINK.NET>]

How many times do we see the AMA up in arms over a program where 

doctors are depicted not quite so accurately? Ever watch Presidio 

Med, ER. Dr. Kildare?



How many times do we see the ABA up in arms over a program where 

attorneys are depicted not quite so accurately? Ever watch the 

Guardian, The Firm, LA Law, Alley McBeal?



How many times do we see the ABA up in arms over a program where 

police are depicted not quite so accurately? Ever watch Hack, 

Sopranos, or any other police show?



My point ... TV and movies are fiction unless specifically stated to 

be accurate in all areas. While I know when there are falsehoods 

being shown when it comes to radiation, health physics, radiology, 

dosimetry, etc., I am not about to go to every movie and start to 

analyze every scene to determine the accuracy of each scene, 

statement and conclusion.



TV and movies are for entertainment. Let's just leave it at that. IF 

those who are really so upset write the network, the producers and 

the writers, and get it off their chest. It's not going to change 

anything. Radiation and anything associated with it gets viewers to 

watch. Anything having to do with sensationalism gets their 

viewership up. I watched,, it was bogus, but it was entertainment. 

That's all it was.



There are too many other things to worry about these days, and what 

is depicted on TV isn't really at the top of my list, nor is it in 

the Top 10.
