And I cried because I know MANY women who were exactly like me.<BR/><BR/>I noted on a Friday that Alex was "being quiet." On Saturday I felt like something wasn't right. On Sunday I started to worry. And even still, driving into the doctor's office, I didn't freak out into hysteria or even seem all that worried. I called work to tell them I would be in after my appointment. And with Travis...I drove myself to the hospital...I was that sure there was nothing to worry about (and it was my second go-round). I mean, I had JUST had my ultrasound four days earlier. What could possibly have gone wrong in that time? And really...God wouldn't be that cruel to let something horrible happen AGAIN.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry if that makes me sound stupid. But I was in a place where "things like this just don't happen to people like me"...and certainly not twice. But they did. <BR/><BR/>So I have to respectfully disagree with the criticism of the show. Yeah, it was a tv portrayal...with all the shortcomings that come with tv portrayals. And yeah, it's going to have a tv ending because it has to...you wouldn't want to watch real time...that's not why you tune into these types of shows. But overall, I don't see anything wrong with last week's episode at all. <BR/><BR/>And, quite honestly, if it makes ONE woman stop and think that this COULD happen to them and they should pay better attention than I did, then I think it's a great thing.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160908955133304449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-70598795584635411142007-06-06T19:33:00.000-04:002007-06-06T19:33:00.000-04:00Sharah, I am sorry, but I disagree.

So I suppose I am just as bad as a TV show. OK. <BR/><BR/>I actually like the show a great deal. We did notice a few funky things, though. Like Jordan having lunch with Harry. Like seriously? Network president and an actress? Even the star? <BR/><BR/>I didn't find too much wrong with last week's episode, though admittedly I watched it while still fighting jet lag. I thought Jordan was too calm when she suggested it might have been her heartbeat Danny was hearing, and that she should've known to just count it to figure out the answer. <BR/><BR/>I really hope tomorrow's episode is not as bad as previews promise it to be. I really do.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I completely missed the MS flu episode on the West Wing, although I thought I saw them all. But if that at all matters, both West Wing at the time and Studio 60 now are by the same writer/executive producer.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745262857388007041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-59711245088553444922007-06-05T18:31:00.000-04:002007-06-05T18:31:00.000-04:00I've got better books than thatI've got better books than thatJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135144307292570188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-5316910529637284882007-06-05T17:12:00.000-04:002007-06-05T17:12:00.000-04:00Val, you are not a PITA, you couldn't be!

And now, I'm disappointed in it, because I think they could do it more accurately.<BR/><BR/>I agree the ER one with Noah Wylie was done much better, and in fact that may have been a reaction to a previous ER episode early on in the series,(first season?) called Love's Labour Lost, where the baby lived, but the mother died, & where there were a lot of inaccuracies, and the OB community freaked on them. (My Doc's medical school class used it as an teaching example of all the things you should NEVER do.)<BR/><BR/>They've been careful ever since, but I guess every show isn't.Aureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691032415028867902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-16284463208824055122007-06-05T17:03:00.000-04:002007-06-05T17:03:00.000-04:00There are times I am glad we don't have so many Am...There are times I am glad we don't have so many American TV shows shown in Europe, the ones we have are bad enough.<BR/><BR/>They're never going to get it right anyway, it wouldn't be entertaining enough!<BR/><BR/>I prefer to lose myself in a silly romantic comedy or just a plain nonsensical comedy. <BR/><BR/>I figure, I have enough drama of my own in IRL to get caught up in fictitious nonsense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-57821142260301942892007-06-05T12:16:00.000-04:002007-06-05T12:16:00.000-04:00So Aurelia if you don't mind me being a bit of a P...So Aurelia if you don't mind me being a bit of a PITA -- why watch at all?<BR/>I couldn't help thinking yesterday evening as we had a long-overdue chat w/out neighbor, how sad it was that he was devoting so much time & energy to picking out his next HD-plasma-screen TV..."the opiate of the massses", indeed!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152215204773184788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-38121574153531150712007-06-05T10:58:00.000-04:002007-06-05T10:58:00.000-04:00What scares me most is that we have to worry that ...What scares me most is that we have to worry that people believe what they see on the night soaps. <BR/><BR/>Where do these people live and/or work????thricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528308384855206125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-42606373722785040262007-06-05T09:09:00.000-04:002007-06-05T09:09:00.000-04:00I actually had to explain to Manly what was wrong ...I actually had to explain to Manly what was wrong with last week's episode.

I know that many women who have experienced the loss of a baby find them incredibly emotional. I can certainly understand that. For me though, I am much more concerned with whether or not they are handled accurately, than I am with how they might relate to my personal loss.<BR/><BR/>The ER episode in which Noah Wylie's character and his girlfriend(?) lose their baby aired not long after our twins died. I remember a lot of people saying I shouldn't watch it. But I did simply because I wanted to see how it was handled. In that case, I think they actually did a decent job. It sounds like this show may not perform so admirably.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528541804521203406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-34270015373062170372007-06-04T15:58:00.000-04:002007-06-04T15:58:00.000-04:00If you look at the preview trailer for next weeks'...If you look at the preview trailer for next weeks' show on nbc dot com she does.

I certainly hope that no-one watching mistakenly believes that it's anything like real life. <BR/><BR/>Does Jordan really spend her time complaining about her ring sizing instead of worrying about her baby? Unless she's supposed to be an extremely unsympathetic character, that's just really, really odd.niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685766216611639434noreply@blogger.com
