Movie Haiku:From the ground level, this is an insightful look at health care from the POV of residents completing their 4th year of training in the Emergency Department of LACMC = LA County Medical Center (one of the largest public hospitals in the USA). Alas, bigger issues (like reducing medical errors) get lost in predictable BS about bureaucracy & malpractice. Too bad.
