But the film shows the human side of medicine and that medicine isn’t an exact science. Physicians can practice and study for years and still not completely understand the human body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relationships in the movie are very realistic, especially with Kenny Rose and his wife. Medical school (and medicine in general) takes up a great deal of personal time, which can be damaging to a relationship. The “hanky-panky” between Michael and Gena happens all the time. The relationship between Michael and his father is realistic as well. Sometimes the profession consumes the physician and without knowing it, harms the family life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgain, I found this film to be a realistic portrayal of medical school. In fact, I have this film on tape and watch it from time to time to motivate me in my medical career. I would recommend this movie to anyone in the medical field, especially students thinking about medical school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FilmClassicsonDVD","offers":[{"title":"DOWNLOAD","offer_id":51504923705631,"sku":"visig-2","price":10.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DVD","offer_id":51504923738399,"sku":"visig-1","price":12.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/0788\/5087\/files\/Vital-Signs-rareandcollectibledvds-288.jpg?v=1767685538","url":"https:\/\/filmclassicsondvd.com\/products\/vital-signs","provider":"FilmClassicsonDVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
