I’ve noticed both medical dramas and police dramas rely heavily on Californian legal practice, because Hollywood. For example, I just watched the episode of Doc (it’s literally just called Doc) where a doctor saved someone on the “DNR list” and almost got suspended, and so here I was thinking “the patient’s perspective would never fly in my environment”. Of course, though, the US (and definitely California) are not the whole world. So I was wondering, what’s an episode of a medical/police drama you could think of where, in your legal environment, the characters would seem crazy for diving into the topic of how they did?

        Hey mod/poster, you removed my reply, added one of your own that was down voted…are you applying for a US government post or what?

        Also, my post totally answered the prompt and you didn’t cite any community rules as to why it was removed, so I assume it’s because you don’t understand or agree with it, which seems like a “you, poster” problem not a mod issue. You make Lemmy a worse place with this kind of abuse of mod responsibility.

          There is a rule saying no US politics is allowed if it’s tangential. I have been trying to balance that with an understanding of how things develop, but then you have things like people turning it into a deterrent as well as a window to break other rules. So I thought “well this conversation that seemed oddly specifically Trumpy seems forgotten about” and I removed it :(
