This is the first in a six part series on the U.S. healthcare system by independent producer Miles Eddy. There is a lot of excellent information in the piece, with interview excerpts from a hospital administrator and an ER doctor. But the piece needs tighter writing and editing. For instance, the narrator tells us that "Russ Johnston will give us an administrative point of view..." and "Dr. Beth Kinney will chime in from the perspective of an emergency room doctor". It?s distracting to be told what an interviewee is going to tell us before they do so. I would have started the piece at about 1:15 in, where the narrator says "We begin this series..." Some judicious editing would help to make this a good four or five minute piece.
