The White Tower (The Hospital)

Anaesthetists in Taiwan really called themselves 麻醉師? I hate this term...

Really liked the first scene where the anaesthetist injected some saline instead of muscle relaxant when the surgeon got mad about inability to close the tense abdomen... but it's like a trick everyone knows... haha! wonder why the first guy did not know about it? =P

(Warning: technical stuff in the next two paragraphs, normal afterwards)
They use a Drager machine, Cato edition (never used it before looks like an older version of Primus), the monitor is HP...

Why on earth did they cardiovert the woman when she is in asystole?!

Overall, it's slightly more realistic than the medical drama produced in Hong Kong.

And Jerry Yan is good looking! haha!

This is the first time I've seen anaesthetists play a major part in a medical drama, not just A & E doctors or surgeons! WOW!

Because the author was once an anaesthetist before she became a writer
