Review of The Young Doctors

This is the third time I have watched the Young Doctors and I must it is an excellent adaptation of Arthur Haley's The Final Diagnosis Which each time I read it could not put it down Likewise with The Young Doctors it is very good and does follow one of the main story lines to its fullest and the other only partially The two main story lines are the birth of baby and a growth on one of the nurses and the dilemma as to whether the Growth is Benign or Malignant However there is a secondary story line omitted that would have heightened the tension even more that was left out The Final Diagnosis has al, the makings of a mini series if it was kept to the original story The Young Doctors just concentrates on the baby and the tumour The acting was very good and the actors handled their parts well Watching the show then reading the book The Final Diagnosis brings a great deal of picture to the book because of the type casting of the actors As described in the book most of the actors are very well illustrated to the book portrails Dr Pearson and Dr Colman blend the book and the movie as one Some of the other actors sadly don't Dr Lucy Granger Is years older than the book portrayal but then the director of the hospital is missing from the movie and it is their love affair that brings the book to life more The other actors are reasonably portrayed and one can see their likenesses in the book What is also missing is the Eunice Swain segment which plays a big part in the book and the attitude of dr person and dr Colman As I said If the book was taken and the movie was expanded to encompass all the side stories it would make a brilliant mini series just like Hotel, Airport, Strong Medicine, Wheels (I believe was also made into a mini series) Detective, Flight into Danger (just a Film and a spoof Airplane) and the Money Changers I loved this show The only reason I gave it a 9 and not a 10 is because of the omissions made Interestingly enough The Final Diagnosis has been rated in the medical fraternity as one of the most accurate depictions of the medical profession But then Arthur Hailey did many months research into each of his subjects to ensure the details were as close as Damit to the real thing the Death of Arthur Hailey is a tragic loss to the world
