The way that the hospitals were portrayed protecting their own interests and not patients was accurate, but I agree with the above commenter that it wasn’t realistic how they portrayed her struggling financially that much. Could hardly afford shoes for her daughter, etc. Nurses do pretty well income-wise for themselves, and the movie made it seem like they are paid as much as retail workers.
