Secrets Of A Nurse (1973)

It's like the Godfather of hospitals this one. A story of malpractice that builds slowly. The doctor seems so charismatic at first. It doesn't feel like there's really anything bad at play, but as it progresses you start to doubt...

I thought this'd be an exploitation movie, but it's nothing like that. It's an education movie. As close as you'll get to a big pharma revelation of the seventies, with pompous sound as the credits roll, and a fascinating glimpse into the hospitals, interiors and people of the time - fascinating timely details like the bus with the exhaust pipe on the roof too, but entertainment-wise... it is a little lengthy and a little too talkative, without all the momentum you might've hoped for at the end.

Good though. An intriguing and scary glimpse into another time, and a place you'd rather relate to goodwill only, but in certain circles... I'm sure it's still not all that different today.
