Hopkins: Are you watching?
by Jane Boursaw, posted Jul 20th 2008 11:02AM
I watched Hopkins this week for the first time. It's a six-part documentary from ABC that delves into the lives of the real-life doctors who work at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, as well as the patients who come through its doors. It's reality TV at its grittiest and most heartbreaking, in some cases. When I first heard about the show, it sounded like an interesting premise -- learn about the doctors and caregivers who work at this medical center I've heard about all my life. When not performing medical miracles, they're just regular people. And from what I gathered watching Episode 4 this week, the hospital pretty much takes over their lives, leaving little time or energy for the outside world and relationships.
