Greys anatomy: so pick me...choose me...love me Dr Mike: no
-
We can all agree that the real number 1 is Doc Mcstuffins tho
-
While House is one of my favorite dramas of all time, I definitely agree with the positionings for medical accuracy. In my opinion, it's by far the best drama on the list, but some of that drama definitely creeps on the point of malpractice. So I fully get why it's in third.
-
I love scrubs because its just the right combination of being funny and being deep, sad, and serious. And some episodes were actually about the patient-doctor relationship. And it often teaches you some lessons. And despite many funny unrealistic scenes, its kinda superb in delivering themes like a fresh doctor not having the confidence to do some tasks or a doctor unable to keep up with the progress etc.
-
As soon as he said “IM SORRY” I knew he was gonna say Grey’s hahaha
-
House is the definition of “it’s better to ask for forgiveness than for permission” That and Hugh Laurie is just amazing
-
YES, I also think that "code black" is the most undervalued medical series, because it combines absolutely everything and the plot is well-built
-
House and ER are two of my all time favourite medical shows (I was named after a character in ER because it was my mothers favourite show!) But in terms of accuracy, I’d say my personal pick would be This Is Going To Hurt - which might not be well known in the US because it’s a British limited series but it was incredible and showed beautifully the stresses and trauma underpaid NHS workers go through. Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn’t seen it!

Ways to annoy Dr. Mike: 1. Don't do chest compressions. 2. Don't do chest compressions.
-
Never realized how many medical shows really are lol
-
Thank you for this! I appreciate the time you saved us in making this list. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I did not expect Doogie Howser to be so far down, but it is an older show so that's fair. I always worry about seeing inaccurate medical information in shows and storing it in my subconscious as "fact" and later using it in a book without thinking. Really appreciate this channel for setting the record straight and calling out the medical inaccuracies. Thank you. 🙂
-
Finally someone recognizes the beauty behind Code Black, it's my second favourite medical drama since House M.D and I got mad when it was cancelled, because it was so good
-
Dr Mike: Scrubs is a comedy, but sometimes they are mean to the patients. Also Dr Mike: I like House.
-
Grey's anatomy is not a medical drama, it's just a soap opera filmed in a hospital environment 😂 totally agree with your top 3 💯
-
With the New Amsterdam firing thing it actually happened in real life. The show is based on Eric Manheimer and his time at Bellevue Hospital. In an article I read is said "he fired an entire department, hired all new attending physicians, essentially replacing the med students who were running the hospital, and putting himself in conflict with the medical school” it’s a really interesting article.
-
So happy about ER being Ranked #1! I love this show --- To this day! Grey's is a fun show to watch, not looking for every medical procedure to be spot on - Love seeing your reactions, Priceless!
-
as a Grey's fan, I was actually surprised that it was so high on the list.
-
Ok we can all agree Attaway General is the worst medical show to ever exist.
-
Man, I grew up watching ER. I never realized it at the time, but with hindsight, yeah, that was definitely the most medically accurate. And the show had some truly heartbreaking moments. The one character with cancer who died on the beach? I think of him every time I hear “over the rainbow”.
-
ER will forever be my favourite medical drama. Because of it's accuracy but also because of the character Dr. Kerry Weaver. Just when she was being introduced as a character, is when I was getting evaluated for my first pair of fore arm crutches. Truly, I could relate to her character and as a young teen, I loved it.
