Indeed. And not just in relation to parenting. The average doctor is constantly trying to emulate TV doctors, just like the average police detective is influenced by what they see on CSI, and every archaeologist wants to be Indiana Jones or Lara Croft. It would be hilarious, if it didn't have such disastrous consequences for regular people every day.
Huh? Doctors don't base their decisions on House episodes. Not even ER episodes.
No, but they base their behavior and expectations on such shows. Life imitates art.
