Title: The show ER and Cluster headaches Post by Jayne on Dec 6th, 2003, 2:12pm I had an "Idear" why don't we give the writers of ER a story line of a rare disease called Clusterheadaches..where a patient comes into the hospital in "suicidal pain" and they have no idea what to do with him...blah blah blah...the main point is..it gets our malady some air time on a very popular show.... ER@nbc.com Get emailing cluster peeps... |

Title: Re: The show ER and Cluster headaches Post by taraann on Dec 6th, 2003, 3:28pm I think it's a cool idea BUT they did an episode a while back where the nurses where turning a person away that had a "fake" headache so they could get a shot of Demeral for their "habit" As we all too often find out that alot of ER's think that way. I have been many time's made to feel like a drug seeker when at the end of my rope ended up at the ER cause I just "couldn't take it anymore" and I didn't want narcotics, just anything to take my pain away so I could get some peaceful sleep. Just thought I'd throw that out there....anyone remember the episode I'm referring to? It's an old one and my memory is fried! |

Title: Re: The show ER and Cluster headaches Post by Jayne on Dec 6th, 2003, 3:54pm well what about an episode where someone actually commits suicide in the ER because of a HA...only to find out it was "cluster headaches and all they needed was an imitrex shot..you know how the writers are.... they show the good the bad and and the ugly of being a ER doctor. They don't just show the doctors as being angels, they show them lying to cover themselves etc. |

Title: Re: The show ER and Cluster headaches Post by Jayne on Dec 6th, 2003, 3:55pm P.S and I am sure the writes are always looking for "new" avenues" and ilnesses to head down..just think how many years they have been on the air. |

Title: Re: The show ER and Cluster headaches Post by Jayne on Dec 6th, 2003, 4:04pm I am at work , so I don't have the time right now to research finding out who the writers of ER are..so I will do it later..unless someone else beats me to it. I see what you mean though Jonny you are correct. I bet you our CarlD could write them a short little Scene with a bit of drama |

Title: Re: The show ER and Cluster headaches Post by Astrid on Dec 6th, 2003, 4:17pm By all means, shouldn't we keep in mind that ER is just a show? How about addressing CH to the Discovery Health Channel? |

Title: Re: The show ER and Cluster headaches Post by Renee on Dec 6th, 2003, 6:12pm the episode that I recall involving a demerol shot is where a guy complains of back pain and demands a shot of demerol, is told to wait his turn...lots of trauma patients keep coming before him...finally he pulls out a gun and holds it up to one of the actor's head demanding a shot of demerol. Abby gets him the shot and he leaves. He passes out just outside the E.R. as Abby gave him triple the standard dose. They brought him back into the e.r. to treat for overdose so they can send him to jail! is that the episode y'all are talking about? |

Title: Re: The show ER and Cluster headaches Post by Renee on Dec 6th, 2003, 6:27pm i wasn't sure if that is the episode y'all were referring to or not but i'm a very avid E.R. watcher. I think having a true CH'er come into the E.R. during a high kip and having the staff try and diagnose and treat would be wonderful exposure for our cause. happy holidays and stay warm and pf, renee |

Title: Re: The show ER and Cluster headaches Post by athos12 on Dec 9th, 2003, 10:13pm There may be a few people I still know in the hollywood crowd that I could call and see what the best avenues are. I will check and get back with you.... A few years ago I could have at least had a script/idea read by the producers of startrek... but that was while Deep Space 9 was on. I had a good friend as key makeup on that shoot..... she and a few others still have really good contacts.. if Not ER we cn try for others as well. Some insights for scriptwriting... Keep in mind that an ER episode is a serier of vignettes... small litle stories with a outer story that ties it all together.... what needs to be said needs to be done consicely and too the point.. i would suggest searching for past scripts for ER, especially ones that were very good... You can find screenplays online if you look in the right places. I would also suggest multiple options for the story, different characters... Could you imagine Johhny as the character in question? Who would they get to play him??? I shudder to think.... Also they dig the stuff that makes people think and tugs at their moral and emotional strings. Read as many screenplays as you can get your hands on to see the style/feel of how they are put together... Understand the use of narative or first person, also scene descriptions and scene setup.... ie.. "camera POV(point of view) over the should of DR. X pans left to view incoming patient ariving via gurny." You will be taken more serious if you look like you know what you are doing, even if it is just to give ideas to the writers/producers.
