E D is the New E R

Lately I have been noticing that on TV commercials, shows and even newscasts, what I have always called a hospital “Emergency Room” is now being called the “Emergency Department.”

I have a problem accepting this change. Is it really necessary?

Am I the only one who would watch the TV series “E R” every Thursday night in the 1990’s? That show would just not be the same if everyone had to call it “E D.” I really miss that show – it was something I looked forward to every Thursday night. The whole house knew to leave mom alone if E R was on the TV.

It might be more properly described as an entire department rather than a room, but does it REALLY matter? I think we are taking all this political correctness to an extreme. If it works, why mess with it?

TV on DVD

For various reasons, over the years I seem to have missed some good TV shows.

Now I can make up for that by buying the set of those TV series on DVD. I see a lot of the TV shows are on DVD at WalMart and on Amazon. The prices are reasonable and you can buy the whole series so you don’t miss a single episode.

I am going to buy a few of those sets and watch the shows at my convenience, then maybe share them with family or friends who might have missed them, too.
