Advertising works...

 This is me this afternoon in my office after our advertising lecture. The chocolate called to me. Advertising seriously works.... Also, Cadbury's chocolate is FAR superior than Hershey's. Just in case you were wondering.

Saving Hope

 So if you know me, you know that I am obsessed with medical dramas. I've pretty much seen them all! ER, Grey's Anatomy, House, New Amsterdam, The Resident, Scrubs, Private Practice, etc. etc. etc. I wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid (and my dad is a doctor) so I've been fascinated with medical type stuff. In a different life I would probably become an OBGYN doc because I'm passionate about female health and I love the miracle of birth!

So I was excited when I found this Canadian media drama called "Saving Hope". This program has a bit of a supernatural element to it and some religious undertones, which I like (and is rare on TV these days). The characters are great and I only have one episode left!! 

Saving Hope (TV Series 2012–2017) - IMDb

The craziest episode was one that was done a few years ago and was about a novel coronavirus that was discovered in Africa, was brought to the USA, caused severe respiratory distress, and had a high death rate. I think I watched this in April and I was completely shocked when I figured out the topic of the episode. Holy crap. Luckily, in this one, they quickly isolated the infected individuals and shut the whole thing down in like 3 days. Wouldn't that be nice?!
