reception

Junior Docs has often been sharply criticized, the Berliner Zeitung said on September 27, 2012 in its article “JUNIOR DOCS” ON ZDFNEO - When the Achilles tendon tears , that it is surprising, given the many German models, that ZDFneo of all things the BBC Junior format Doctors as such. The title of the series is also unsuitable, as the doctors who accompany them are only allowed to take on minor tasks. It is true that dramatic moments such as a liver transplant with cardiac arrest are shown and the stressful everyday life of the young doctors is shown, but they are not seen enough in action. In addition, the prospective surgeon Elena Enderle was reprimanded, who asked Wikipedia instead of the senior physician on duty because of an Achilles tendon tear at an unusual point .

Also the taz judged in its contribution doctors documentary series on TV - Hach, der Herr Doktor rather negatively about the series, because in comparison to the current series at Vox The young doctors are not yet as advanced in their specialist training as they are repeated over and over again their excitement before every single step and that they still had a lot to learn. It was also criticized that too much clichés about the dignified lifestyle of the medical profession are being used. Fast cuts and a trendy soundtrack wouldn't make up for this either.
