Mikhail Varshavski, DO, who goes by Doctor Mike on social media, is a board-certified family medicine physician at the Atlantic Health System s Overlook Medical Center in Summit, New Jersey. Watch him rank medical television show from least accurate to the most.
Following is a rough transcript:
Mikhail Varshavski, DO: Let s get started. # 16, the least accurate medical drama that I ve watched on this channel is Attaway General. Sorry to my Dixie D Amelio fans out there, but the show just has inaccuracies galore. The uniforms aren t right. They re wearing hairnets at times. They re having teenagers deliver medical care as volunteers.

Patch sent readers COVID-19 vaccine questions to North Jersey infectious-disease experts. Here is Part 1 of their answers. (Montana Samuels/Patch)
NORTH JERSEY The first vaccinations for COVID-19 have begun in the Garden State and while many are scrambling for appointments to get their inoculation, there are still many who have questions. So Patch jumped in to get your answers.
We asked readers to send us their queries about COVID-19 vaccines and then got answers from local experts. Dr. Donald Allegra (Newton Medical Center) and Dr. Robert Roland (Overlook Medical Center) both infectious-disease specialists within the Atlantic Health System answered reader questions below.
What’s taking so long? That’s the question asked by hundreds of thousands of people who have flocked to New Jersey’s COVID vaccine sign-up page to get inoculated.
There are many answers, but the first is the most obvious: Demand far outstrips supply currently. The state has been allocated far fewer doses than the number of people who want them. More than a million have registered for the vaccine at covidvaccine.nj.gov, while about 600,000 vaccine doses have been received and 233,000 doses have been used.
But a second reason for the slow rollout is that the COVID vaccines are different from any vaccines given before. The data-tracking required for each dose is daunting. Storage and preparation of the vaccine require special equipment and handling.

Good Monday morning!
I should have known not to write Friday’s top to New Jersey Playbook. Why, after everything we’ve seen so far in the mess that is weed legalization, would I assume the deal wouldn’t collapse at the last minute?
