D-Squared Has The Next Big TV Show

Posted by Ampersand | January 6th, 2009 | Crossposted from Blog By Barry

Idea for a television show, possibly an “ER” spinoff. ER: The Finance Department. Would revolve around a debt collector working for an American hospital, who has a limited amount of discretion to waive bills in circumstances of true hardship. Every week, he investigages the circumstances of a poor or middle-class American family with a crippling medical expense, deciding to what extent they’re truly morally responsible for their own misfortune, or what luxury items in their house he believes they could do without; he could have a catchy thumbs-up/thumbs-down plus catchphrase to form the denouement of every episode.

    Heheh, reminds me of SomethingPositive (a webcomic where the main character, for a time, worked in a medical billing department)

    I imagine the task of telling people that their medical needs are not covered is quite possibly the most miserable job on the face of the earth.

    From here it looks like a tie tween that and having to put down perfectly good cats at a shelter.
    At least the cats get a merciful end.
