I'm sure it's an adjustment with new regulations and such. That's so weird that there's such a huge difference between the treatment of students at different hospitals. Are they very critical at this one, then? You'd think they'd want to be helpful, etc....someday the students could be their colleagues. It would be better to make it a comfortable environment for them to be in where they get the best possible experience.
When you do clinicals, are you by yourself, or in a small group? Is everyone pretty much at the same level?

He's brilliant, and has a "take no prisoners" approach. I've watched quite a few of his shows, and I'm always amazed at his expertise.

I have always been of the opinion that it is much, much easier to be brilliant if you have a script and a research staff and can stop filming as soon as you say something that is, let's say, less then brilliant. We all could seem like Einstein. Just one of the reasons why I just don't ever watch "reality" shows. They are the furthest thing from reality that can be. However, in the past few years reality has been just damned awful, so maybe a little make-believe reality is a useful tool to keep us all sane. It's way to late for me as I am well over the edge.

Sorry to hear that you're over the edge.
There may be some truth to what you're saying above, but I'll respectfully disagree to the extent that you're pushing it. I think that Mr. Melchiorri really is an expert in his field, and probably also hires the brightest staff to work with him on these shows.

It’s now technically May 24th, which means it’s exactly 2 years ago today that Mike, @NYwdwfan and I saw Frozen on Broadway.
And just 10 minutes ago, I read on Twitter that it will not be re-opening at the St. James Theatre after this COVID pandemic is over.
I was supposed to see that in Minneapolis last weekend. So far the touring show is only postponed and supposedly rescheduling. I hope I get to see it someday.

I have enjoyed watching his Hotel Impossible show from time to time. He really seemed to know his stuff (as far as could tell as someone with no knowledge of how the hospitality biz works) and seems to care about helping people. Sometimes the shows creeped me out a little with how some of the hotels were but that made me appreciate the hotels that I stayed at that were well run and had good cleaning/maintenance standards. One of the hotels that was featured on the show was located in our area of Wisconsin and my husband had stayed at it a short time before the episode was shot for a convention. Luckily cleanliness didn't see to be part of the hotel's problem in person or on the show.

One of the worst ones I've ever seen on Hotel Impossible was in the Orlando/Kissimmee area of all places. It had a nest of killer bees living near one of the balconies, mold in the corridors from past hurricanes, etc. The owner was oblivious to a lot of the problems and kept passing the "I did not know" excuse whenever Anthony tried to point things out.
It was so bad, Anthony ended up pulling the plug on the project and decided to not try and help them further. Bad move on the owner's part. If you want your hotel to succeed, listen to what Anthony says, and most importantly, do what he recommends.

I remember that episode. It was a little scary as to what shape that hotel was in and how "clueless" the owner was.

He does, and truly knows his stuff. I've watched a lot of his normal interviews before, like the one posted earlier, where it's not an episode being filmed and just Anthony sharing his stuff. He knows the industry.
I'll bug you with a couple more:

I’m not by myself on clinical. The size of the hospital determines how big a group of us are there. We also have to share two of the hospitals with students in programs from other schools and that also limits how many of us can be there.
Most of the techs are not bad. It’s just always going to be somewhat nerve racking to have someone watching over you when you’re still unsure of yourself. There are some techs that make it worse though. There’s one tech that will rudely correct students in front of patients. I think that’s just unprofessional. It certainly doesn’t help the patient feel comfortable.
The techs at my favorite hospital I guess just haven’t forgotten what it’s like to be a student. If you make a mistake they’ll say something like, “I still make mistakes like that all time.” And they never act aggravated with students when we ask for help with our paperwork. It’s just a different environment there.

I'd like to take a crack at the header question of Where in the world isn't Bob Saget? I definitely cannot tell you where Bob is, but I can with 100% tell you one place he isn't and that is on the set of Fuller House because the show is competed and he was never really a regular anyway. So I hope this clears up at least 1% of the mystery of where he isn't. Oh by the way he also isn't at my home.
