Painful to watch

I love legal dramas and medical dramas and So Ji-Seob is one of my favorite actors, so I thought this was gonna be a 10/10 to me. I could not get through the first 2 episodes. The medical content was not accurate nor logical. In the very first episode, for example, someone in the courtroom RANDOMLY goes into anaphalactic shock and collapses in the middle of the room. The first thing they said was that his heart stopped and to get the AED. Okay, no. They do CPR incorrectly and are messing around with the AED not working properly. Then, the doctor-lawyer comes in with his magical medical bag filled with items that can only be possessed by physicians with medical licenses (which his had been revoked for a retaliation reason that would have been caught by an ethics review committee, like licenses aren't being revoked willy-nilly out there). He takes out of his bag a premeasured injection, possibly adrenaline/epinephrine and gives it to him in the neck(!!?? absolutely not, and if he was doing it to restart his heart, that is not really appropriate for this setting). He then gets out a trach kit, opens the sterile packaging and then has someone poor a liquid (isopropyl alcohol maybe?) on it before giving the guy a trach before waiting for the epi to start working.

There was so much obviously wrong with this and future events that I couldn't stop getting irritated. The background music was overly dramatic for what was happening and their OR was like a mess. Someone in there slipping all over the blood on the floor like slip-resistant shoes aren't mandatory.

Anyway, I still love So Ji-seob Oppa but this show wasn't for me.
