South Africa never had it so good department

From the Jerusalem Post. Rest assured, there will be no "editorializing":

Can an American reality TV series, in which US doctors are thrust into the sociologically complex, perplexing and life-and-death situations of a fast-paced Jerusalem hospital, become the next Survivor?

Hollywood heavyweights Steven Spielberg and creator and producer of classic sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond Phil Rosenthal sure think so…

[Rosenthal said] "The idea is to take a small group of American doctors and bring them to this hot spot in the world. Shaare Zedek is one of the busiest hospitals in Jerusalem, and it’s a kind of fascinating situation where you have Arab doctors working next to Jewish doctors, patients of all kinds as well, and you have to check your religion at the door.

…"To me it was important that it would be a reality show and not a documentary," he said. "So there is no hidden agenda, this is how it is, we are not presenting our views.

"If it’s fictional, then you’re editorializing. We aren’t editorializing, and we’re letting the situations speak for themselves."
