Might Turn Out Better in the Future
Last week when I went to the hospital, this was the kind of scene i saw there- unmotivated resident doctors fleeting through medical checkups, lifeless, trying to commit their duties stoically!
Sequel to the popular 2019 hit “Hospital Playlist”, “Resident Playbook” lacks the warmth and genuinty of its predecessor. Some might find that frustrating, because we presume that most medical dramas are dedicated to showcasing the main lead’s genius skills and talents. If you are looking for something similar to “Dr. Romantic” or the recent “Trauma Code”, you will be sorely disappointed. Set in the midst of the OB-Gyn Department, the show is focused on the struggles faced by the resident doctors. They have textbook knowledge but are unskilled when it comes to handling real-time situations. The drama draws empathy as we are given a glaring glimpse into their lives as first year residents adjust to their new lives where they struggle to maintain a foothold. They lack passion or are burnt out or not empathetic enough to handle the patients with care. For each of the main leads, it is a different journey, and we are here to summarize everything related to them!
