Producer John Wells struck gold under Steven Spielberg's supervision prior to striking additional award-winning television acclaim with The West Wing and Southland years later! Most medical dramas tend to follow the ER formula but is that a good or a bad thing? What did it bring to the table that St. Elsewhere already hadn't? Is it's spin-off Third Watch still a solid Hill Street Blues clone (only with a few medics and firefighter storylines)? Would any of these still make our Top 10 medical dramas or are they leagues behind something like House, Chicago Hope/Med or even Scrubs? All that coverage and more on why others should watch the CSI-inspired spin-off Medical Investigation on YouTube!   #er #tvshow #medicalinvestigation #thirdwatch #drama #action #medical #csi #stelsewhere #cool #dramatic #sexy #johnwells #emmys #awardwinning #acting #franchise #culthit #internationalwomensday #holiday #podcast #special #retrospect        MAIN LINKS:  LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/JURSPodcast Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/JackedUpReviewShow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackedUpReview  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacked_up_podcast/  SHOW LINKS: YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIyMawFPgvOpOUhKcQo4eQQ iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-jacked-up-review-show-59422651/ Podbean: https://jackedupreviewshow.podbean.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Eg8w0DNympD6SQXSj1X3M Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast/id1494236218 RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/the-jacked-up-review-show-We4VjE Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1494236218/the-jacked-up-review-show-podcast Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9hNDYyOTdjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz Anchor:  https://anchor.fm/s/a46297c/podcast/rss PocketCasts: https://pca.st/0ncd5qp4 CastBox:  https://castbox.fm/channel/The-Jacked-Up-Review-Show-Podcast-id2591222

It's the penultimate episode of Third Watch as we bring you our recap of the 21st episode of the 6th season, End Of Tour. What does have Yokas have to do with the live TV hostage situation? Should Manny have been blown to pieces when he got shot? Why the hell is random lieutenant a lieutenant when he is so bad at his job? Why the hell are the vampires so scared and run away and how the hell are we typing this sentence in an episode of Third Watch? Seriously, vampires? WHY?!?! WHY ARE THERE VAMPIRES??!?!? Do people get lots of phone calls on the 4th of the July? Why is there a guard outside Finney's room in the hospital? How dumb is it to imply that Bosco would've shot Emily and why can't we see the scene when he shoots Dante? Why do we have to have journalists once again painted as the worst people in the world? How is the Grace and Finney scene the most meh storyline we can think of? Why is Ben getting so angry in this episode? Why are there so many pointless mini cliffhangers that make this episode so bad? How do we come to the conclusion that Medical Investigation ruined Third Watch permanently? Why do we have such a terrible and random firefighter scene that is once again wasting the firefighters? How is the scene between Bosco and Yokas the last scene to wrap up their arc from the show and why is it so so so bad? Why do they have to go out of their way to make next weeks episode so obvious? Is the final cliffhanger worse than last week? And is Ben about to shock everyone where he ranks this episode overall?

It's a double dose of episodes for you today as we move closer and closer to the end of Third Watch by not only bringing you the 16th episode of the 6th season In The Family Way, but also the first part in a crossover 'event' with that little known TV show you completely forgot about Medical Investigation. Is Third Watch the only show in history to have two crossover events with two different shows that have no instant connection to each other? How did the idea for this crossover actually happen? What happens in this episode that you wouldn't get away with in 2019? Why do we start singing a rubbish song that will be stuck in our head all episode? Have we ever seen Carlos so happy? Why do we have to have over the top slow motion for a scene that would've been super powerful without it? Are we excited to finally have Wyclef Jean in the show and what's our thoughts on the Marcel character? Is the Medical Investigation stuff just so bad? Should Bosco just lie a bit better to Yokas to avoid him being questioned so much? Are there people in the world who talk solely in one liners? Is Cruz portrayed at bad at her job in this episode? Why does Sully forget where Tatiana is from? Do we need the explosion to happen in this episode with Marcel? And do we actually care about the cliffhanger in this episode enough to watch the Medical Investigation episode?

Is it clear to see why this show never worked and was cancelled after 20 episodes? Just how bad is this episode? Why do the Third Watch actors come across as really bad in this episode? Why is Ben getting so angry in this episode? Do we have a dirty kid sighting in this episode? Why doesn't Holly ever go into the room when she might have the disease? Why do the writers of this episode destroy some character traits of the Third Watch characters in this episode?

An estimated 1-1.5 million Americans live with autism, a neural disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication. Some research suggests environmental factors play a role in autism, while other findings point to a genetic basis. More recently there's been a heated public debate about whether autism is caused by the mercury in vaccines commonly given to children. In this podcast, Irva Hertz-Picciotto discusses the implications of research comparing blood mercury levels of autistic children with those of typically developing children. Hertz-Picciotto is an environmental epidemiologist with the Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (MIND) Institute at the University of California, Davis, and the first author of "Blood Mercury Concentrations in CHARGE Study Children with and without Autism."
