Flicking through the channels on the box and I see there is a double bill tonight of "Children's Emergency" which seems to be a programme about horrible things happening to children. In real life. It's not the only programme like this out there.
Now I can kind of see why people watch medical programmes like "sex sent me to the ER" and I can see why people would watch something that is raising awareness of a particular illness (like how to spot the symptoms). But why on earth would anyone choose to watch a programme like this that just shows children and their families going through the most awful medical emergencies. It doesn't benefit them. It doesn't help anyone else. I can barely even read the programme synopsis.
So, AIBU? If not, please enlighten me why these programmes are attractive!

AIBU?
To find it disturbing that people enjoy watching TV shows about sick children?
