My mother, a nurse, likes House. She says there's plenty wrong, but enough right that it's not too distracting.

Wasn't there this trivia that comedy hospital series Scrubs was actually the most technically correct medical show?

Yes, but it was mostly accurate in its coverage of life working in a hospital if anything.

I feel that the 'Tron: Legacy' and 'The Martian' interfaces ar the high water marks in this category ... Here is a full treatment of the Martian screens/interfaces: https://territorystudio.com/project/the-martian/

The Martian in book-form is very impressive, it describes patching, in binary form, a bug in wxworks regarding priority inversion. I worked with people a few years ago who had done the exact same thing, which felt a bit weird. Not on martian rovers or anything but on production systems for electrical networks.

Did you mean VxWorks? I still have my certifications for that somewhere.
