Aishwarya Rai would have to donate her whole body to you first.

O negative is widely used because you can give it to anyone and do not have to worry about their bodies rejecting it. It is complicated.

This website is useful:

http://www.redcrossblood.org/learn-about-blood/blood-types

From here I get that if you have AB blood you can only donate to someone with AB. So if you have AB, you have to either get AB or O. No one else. So the rarest according to this website is AB- and not 0+

What other procedures medical, law or another do they also get wrong in serials?

@ Arya:

O Negative is the universal donor.

I didnt know AB was the rarest blood group to find.

The Bank blooper shown in EHT is the worst yet. I guess the writers do have bank accounts, maybe vaults too and know the procedure to operate those accounts especially after someone's death.

When my MIL passed away (in India), my husband had to show them her death certificate to operate her locker even though he was a joint owner of the locker. That is how strict it is...

They are showing that the rich, powerful family scions can do anything and everything they want. They can open anyone's vault in any bank just by using their clout.

It is this glorification of villains and corrupt rich people that I am vehemently against. To show them as demi-Gods, all powerful, getting away with murder, robbery, rape and bank theft is just wrong!

Yes, Sakshi may be the great Mrs. Goenka but shes just a grave robber, a thief who steals the personal documents of a dead man!

Serial makers shd never show things like this...the common man is oppressed enough as it is, but to make them feel they are powerless against the rich and corrupt people is morally and ethically wrong!

Even if it happens in real life, we dont want to watch it on TV fiction.

I agree. Glamourising villains is not appropriate in a serial promoting justice against them. Lockers in banks are there for a reason and security protects them! But there they have shown that it is not that protective at all!

But not just this, other procedures are not shown properly either. The medical one was an example but I am sure there are others.

Hi! How is everyone?

From what I've read today's topic is OTT glamourizing of the rich and famous in shows? Lol plus their super power of getting away with literally everything and anything?

Actually the topic I began talking to Gayatri with was about certain legal, medical and etc procedures being depicted incorrectly in TV serials. We sidetracked a little bit but I think we were still on topic as they were related to the topic. That is the topic we were discussing.

Oh thanks for the clarification Arya!

I agree that things are depicted extremely unrealistically in serials. For example during Shauraya's fake suicide attempt in EHT there were two Dr's in the room (Dayal and Neil); as they had both sworn a Hippocratic oath they should have rushed to help him. Instead they stood by and watched the tamasha as Goenka's screamed the place down.

In fact what made it doubly unrealistic is despite knowing that they were qualified Dr's not one single person in the room inc. the anxious Goenkas prompted them to aide Shuraya.

By medical, if you mean serials depicting corrupt doctors who take bribes from villains and change blood test or DNA test reports, then all this is not very far from the truth.

The reality is even worse than portrayed.

I lost 2 of my closest family members last year (in India) due to medical negligence, wrong treatment, callous doctor and nurses, badly equipped hospital.

I watched some episodes of Savdhaan India, one where they showed doctors stealing kidneys from poor folks picked up from the streets by their agents with job promises, they were brought to a hidden nursing home under the pretence of doing medical tests for the promised job, then they were anaesthetized and one kidney removed/stolen and transplanted in rich patients on the same day at the same facility. At least 5-6 doctors and one nurse were involved in this criminal racket in that nursing home in Delhi. They sold each kidney for as much as 15-20 lakhs and they didnt pay a single cent to those poor guys they stole the kidneys from. Can you believe it?

Another episode on Crime Patrol last week showed the evil nexus between illegal pathological labs and doctors assigned to them, the labs gave the patient wrong report without getting it checked by actual doctor, just his printed signature (the doc got his cut of course). For one guy the lab said he had AIDS, the guy lost his job and almost committed suicide before his friend helped him get to the truth.

That is true. Even the doctor in the room, two in this case, are not used. Plus I remember Shaurya opening the bandage but did not realise if he actually cut himself or not.

That is horrible Pallavi

Even I have experienced medical negligence happening

Organ harvesting is wrong!

But do you guys think that if the showed stuff more realistically and less dramatically people would watch it?

Why would the writer's not think about following these processes closely to reality?

But corrupt doctors scared by rich powerful people, docs taking bribes, giving false evidence in court, these are unfortunately sad realities! So it IS realism, albeit shown in a dramatic fashion as every show is a drama.

What I would like to see in serials is people rise above such pettiness, greed and corruption. At least in the end, they shd repent or be caught and exposed. That is the more uplifting and moral attitude to portray in a show.
