Private Practice

So every Wednesday I like to watch ABC because there are shows that I enjoy. One of them is Private Practice. If you have never seen private practice, it’s like any doctor show but perhaps more dramatic if at all possible. There are six doctors with their own practice, one is a pediatrician, one is a psychiatrist, and I’m not too sure what the other ones are but they are doctors of some sorts. Anyway each week they all have a case and then conveniently seem to have some personal problem to go along with it. A little staged I know, but at least it’s not a show on lifetime, my mom would make so much fun of me. Then the boy doctors and the girl doctors seem to flock together like its recess in kindergarten and talk about both issues. For the girls it’s almost always boy troubles and for the guys it varies. The friendly conversations almost always seem to end in fights because of varying beliefs with the cases each one currently has. Currently the practice is going under and is not doing too well, so one of the doctors took over and now he runs it as a business, only trying to make money, instead of as a practice should be run. Well last night one of the doctors had this patient whose husband had recently died and she suspected her son of killing their dog. Because of this she thought her son was like a sociopath and was scared of him like slaughtering her in the night. One of the doctors called him in and tried to talk to him to find out why he had killed the dog but he wouldn’t talk. She ended up going to his school to get him to talk and he told her that the only reason he had killed the dog was because the dog had cancer and was sick and his mom was going to spend thoudands of dollars to fix it when they didn’t have that money and it was too much to put him down so he snapped its neck to avoid that and help his mom. I really liked this part of this show because it showed a lot about the human motivations and the priorities they set for themselves. A person is willing to decide what matters most to them even if both matter very much, which is what the kid did.
