Wow. A very controversial topic that was tackled very well. This story is about Ruth Jefferson, a labor & delivery nurse at a hospital where she's worked for 20 years. One day at work, there is an incident that leaves her having to make a difficult decision and then the consequences afterward due to her decision. At the high level, this book is about racism. Jodi Picoult is known for conducting her own research and almost immersing herself in that research so that she can learn everything she can learn about the particular topic she's writing about. Her approach to this book is no different. She even wrote, in her "Author's Note" at the end of the book that in writing this book, it forced her to take a hard look at herself. I could not put this book down.

This was a great series to pass time. An easy viewing, full of comedic lines and dark humour. Some of which was relatable, however worth watching the series 'Children's Hospital' first, as Medical Police is a spin off from that series. To make sense of the series, as when I saw a Doctor dressed as as a weird clown, I couldn't make sense why. It wasn't very clear and I had to Google it to make sense of it. However I would highly recommend this series to have a laugh. I would consider this series similar to that of 'Scrubs'. The actors were great together and storyline although sometimes lengthy leading to a bore at times, it was also gripping and exciting, as well as hilarious!
