Rebecca:
The scenes with the accident were about the best so far. I have been watching the rest of the episodes, but only as they are redcorded, which allows me to take breaks from some of the more tedioius scenes. Stil on the fence about the whole thing. At this point I watch it because I have invested this much time in it, and because I still hope it will improve.

If it had a decent time slot....
I fully intended to watch Kingdom Hospital and i did see the first 45 -60 minutes, but because of work, i was so tired I fell asleep after that. I havent seen it since then but maybe i am not missing anything too fantastic? The scene where the van hit the guy and drove off and left him...that was very Stephen King-ish and I was glued to the tv at that point....but soon, sleep overtook me. Perhaps he IS better with pen & paper---time will tell I guess.
( I have always been a fan of his.....Cujo was the only book I have ever read that gave me nightmares, which for some strange reason I enjoyed. Imagine writing something so powerful, you affect people long after they put your book down, and even while they sleep!....Anyway, for the record, i am actually IN his movie, Dolores Claiborne, as an extra. Maybe I will write about that adventure and post it.)

I agree Majroj.
The story is interesting, but some of the parts just to not translate well to the screen, for instance, the singing and dancing of the nurses and doctors while treating patients. What is
that supposed to signify?

Didn't see it. Adaptations of his work tend to be poor.
