Dear Producer of “Royal Pains”…

… you sorely need a technical advisor. And if you already have one, fire him and hire someone with a decent background in medicine. Someone who knows in which hand one holds a laryngoscope would be nice.

In an era where many medical students admit that they pick up much of their medical technique from watching ER (and I only wish that was a joke), it would be nice if your hotshot concierge physician main character weren’t such a flaming dumbass when he picks up the tools of his trade.

Less MacGyver and more accurate medicine, mmkay?
