Comments:
Although
some scenes are over-dramatized, the film, as a whole,
accurately depicts the cut-throat competition in medical
school, as opposed to another critic's opinion that
it was less accurate than the movie, Gross Anatomy,
which in my opinion, was the furthest away from reality.
Some scenes
in Vital Signs imply that medical school students
in their third year (the first year out of the classroom)
have more authority and autonomy than what is true
in reality. But the film shows the human side of medicine
and that medicine isn't an exact science. Physicians
can practice and study for years and still not completely
understand the human body.
Again,
I found this film to be a realistic portrayal of medical
school. In fact, I have this film on tape and watch
it from time to time to motivate me in my medical
career. I would recommend this movie to anyone in
the medical field, especially students thinking about
medical school.
