It can happen. Systemic absorption as opposed to only local effects of eye drops can have a big impact, and if you’re trying to poison someone, you’re probably putting in most of a bottle of eye drops (5-15ml) instead of the few drops you would put in your eye, so potentially a ~100x higher dose.

Just thinking briefly about it, I think the more dangerous eye drops would cause lower blood pressure if taken orally or potential kidney problems depending on the drug.

It would probably have to be a high dose to seriously affect a healthy young person, but an older person or someone with underlying health issues or other interacting medications could more easily be affected.

Realism, mostly. It’s in pretty much real time. Each hour-long episode covers one hour of an ED shift, and the medical problems are actually believable.

I haven’t seen the Good Doctor but House MD is mostly luck and medical malpractice. I like the show, but it’s not realistic in the slightest.
