Part 1 of the Homeschool Unit Study is here. I like this new series because it’s cool how Emily Owens is the one who is telling the story and she starts off by talking about high school. Then, she goes in (the hospital) and her friends says that it just like high school. She does not like that because she was the geeky one back then.
Then, she says that she has been in school for 23 years and she THINKS she is going into the next phase in her life. But, she really is not because she finds her high school bully there for the same reasons she is (to work underneath the doctor who did a per-cutaneous valve replacement).
Emily finally meet Gina, the persona that she has been waiting to meet (and work under), and she (Gina) ends up being mean. Since Emily was not paying attention, she gets assigned the “special assignment” or bad job of doing the discharge paperwork for the patient they were just working with. But, Emily is really nice, so I like how she gets to know the patient better and just gets along with the other patients. 
Throughout the show, she thinks that she is having the worst day then Mika says that other people are having worse days. For example, one of the patient has to be told that she has cancer and only has six months to live)…there’s a surprise ending as to who this patient’s son…we NEVER expected that! {One reason why this show is so good.
Emily does gets to do something good…and she ended up doing it great…which Gina witnessed, and that was really cool!
Emily’s high school NEMESIS shares the reason she ‘s so mean to her back in high school and even now…we did NOT expect that either!
Because I wanted to learn more about Gina’s role, I looked up PER-CUTANEOUS VALVE REPLACEMENT and found out it is when you put a new trans-catheter heart valve (it’s the thing that you’re putting into the heart) that opens and closes. You need to put it in because the real things in the heart does not open and close big enough. You did it in two different places, and it’s done when the patient is sleeping. I even watched this youtube video to learn more.
So, when Mama asked me if I like the show my answer was
I loved the show, and I like how the executive producer, Jennie Snyder Urman, said “it’s good for the world of girls and women….the heroine…is Smart. She’s relatable.” I totally agree!
So, will you be watching the show? Why or why not?
