Oh Bravo...

I want to be completely honest and transparent in this post so I should start by laying a few things out there:

1. I love about 90% of the shows that Bravo puts on their network, there are a few that I don't like but in general I'm on the Housewives train and have watched Top Chef since the beginning.
2. Not only is my father a doctor but so is my mother.
3. Being the child of doctors I am very sensitive to people stereotyping the lives and lifestyles of doctors.

All that being said, I just saw a commercial for a new show that Bravo is putting out there called Married to Medicine. Okay, just looking at the title I don't have any issues with this show. It seems like it would be a show focused on showing the lives of doctors and their wives/families.

Unfortunately for Bravo, I didn't just see the title I also saw the commercial that they put together for the show. All I have to say after watching this is "Bravo are you f***ing kidding me?". Throughout my life I've dealt with a lot of people having certain thoughts about me and my family based only on my parents jobs. And now Bravo has decided to turn it into a reality show, but judging by the commercial it's not an accurate showing.

First off, a real professional physician would not have the time or energy to let a camera crew follow them around long enough to get a full season of episodes. Which means that either these doctors aren't practicing full-time or, they aren't in the show very much and it's just showing their wives/families.

Watching the minute they showed of the things these women said and how they acted, these are women who married doctors for the lifestyle they thought came with that. I'd just like to say from experience that not everyone who is married to a doctor has over-priced clothing, cars, cosmetics and a home with a full stay 24 hours a day.

Not only did these women say stupid things like,"You need to start acting like a doctor's wife" but they are acting like animals. I'd like to know exactly what a doctor's wife is supposed to act like? I'm guessing that it's not running around yelling and screaming at other women.

This show, in my opinion, reduces the families of physicians to spoiled people who do nothing but tote their husband's/dad's profession as some kind of metal.

Doctors are professionals who spend their days caring for other, saving lives and making people feel better physically and mentally. It doesn't matter what you think about the amount of money they make or how much they spend on their cars or homes - you can't debate the fact that doctors make a real difference in the world.

Of all the doctors that I know very few shower their families with extravagant gifts, to the contrary they seem to be people who are focused on saving money and spending it wisely. Sure my parents have dropped some money on the house we live in and have taken us on nice vacations but I don't have an expensive car or a wardrobe worth thousands.

I just wise that Bravo would think more before they pitch these concepts for shows. Judging by the footage I saw, this show is just another variation on the real housewives. If they want to air more shows like that - either find other cities....or admit that you want to air more wealthy crazy women and just extend the seasons.

But for the love of GOD don't take a heroic admiral profession and reduce it down to a reality show that makes the families of physicians look like gold-digging spoiled people.

Thanks a lot Bravo as if I don't get enough shit already for what my parents do for a living.
