A TV show character is not representative of real life. Believe me, an addicted nurse/doctor is irritable, distracted, stressed-out, and overwhelmed with their problem. It isn't pretty, and it isn't safe. We'd better all care about that. As far as smoking and obesity, I don't personally care but do understand about the costs of healthcare to the employer. And, as others have stated, where does it stop?
