Had you read about the issues nurses have with the show, or had you noticed the absence on your own?
It's a fairly good show but I cannot stand the hackneyed voiceovers. It's rather insulting...how about showing the same footage with just music and let us figure out the message?

Man, I watched two episodes of this show. I told my wife the title got me because as an artist, the book is a must have.
This show is like Ally McBeal without the quirkiness meets ER without the pathos.
Yawn.

No, I hadn't read what nurses had said about the show. I'm obsessed with Scrubs and notice that nurses play a part in that show. When I first tuned into Grey's Anatomy, I noticed that they were virtually absent from the show, unless they needed to find a doctor to do something the doctor didn't want to do.... Pretty sad really.

Does anyone know if there is a soundtrack or music compilation I can buy for the show?
