LIVRO Nip/Tuck, Grey’s Anatomy and Plastic Surgery (Medicine in Television Series) (English Edition) PDF María del Mar Vaquero

It might seem obvious to begin this chapter dedicated to plastic surgery in TV series by mentioning the fascination that doctors’ private and professional lives have always held for viewers. Every aspect relating to medicine, to the work and coexistence of health professionals in that independent city that a large hospital constitutes are fertile content. Such aspects include the dramatic change of lifestyle a disease’s appearance brings about, but also the analysis of symptoms, like clues in a mystery movie, that lead to uncovering the diagnosis of an illness. Witnessing the progressive deterioration of a character suffering from a degenerative disease, or – let us say it – the moment of death itself, all of these are excellent storylines for thousands of scripts. They contain enough elements of tragedy, drama, anecdote and human overcoming of challenges to attract viewers.
