Are Medical TV shows realistic?

This is a high-level video based lesson with a medical theme.This lesson is perfect for C1 level students with a medical background, but will be enjoyed by any C1-C2 level class.

The lesson starts with a conversation about TV shows, and then introduces some medical vocabulary. After that the worksheet pre-teaches a few idiomatic phrases used in the video.  The video is of a  real surgeon watching surgical TV shows and rating their realism. Before they watch, students must read through a series of statements about medicine and decide if they are true or false (eg. “Surgeons do not ever actually inject people with adrenaline”)

After this the students watch the first 9 minutes of the video and answer some comprehension questions about it. The final task is a homework exercise which asks the students to watch another video in the same series and report back.
