Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al discuss The Pitt and other medical dramas back to St. Elsewhere, ER, and Gray’s Anatomy.
Doctors and patients grappling with life and death stakes seems a strong premise for drama, but how many of these shows do we need? We talk about the gore, the pacing, the characters, the politics, and the other considerations that make The Pitt a great show (at this point).
We touch on The Resident, The Good Doctor, New Amsterdam, Chicago Med, House, This Is Going to Hurt, Watson, Scrubs, etc. Do doctors actually like these kinds of shows?
