5 Television Shows About Healthcare for Aspiring Medical Professionals
There is a surprising number of television shows about healthcare. Some follow doctors, nurses or the EMTs (who make sure the patients get to the hospital safe and sound). Although they might not be totally accurate, they can still be very entertaining, especially for the aspiring medical professional.
Searching for a show to start? Below discover a few of the best series we enjoy that embody the drama of being inside a hospital.
The Pitt
The Pitt is one of the newest shows to hit streaming services, and we have seen people talking about it non-stop. According to online reviews, it also contains one of the most accurate depictions of being doctors, nurses and patients. You won't get soap opera-style theatrics. It's people dealing with real-life issues, whether it's difficult cases or working extra long hours. It recently was renewed for a second season, so it's the perfect time to catch up.
The Resident
Before medical students can graduate to doctors, they have to complete a residency at the hospital. Basically, this means they will be working full-time without the glamorous pay to get experience needed to save lives. In The Resident, the students have to challenge themselves against difficult doctors, but it's worth it to prevent an unfortunate death and a malpractice lawsuit.

St. Denis Medical
Most people are used to seeing medical shows being very serious. However, St. Denis Medical provides a lighthearted take on hospital working. It's made by the same people who created The Office, so expect deadpan humor and wacky cast members. We'd consider ourselves lucky if we worked here, rather than the hospital in The Pitt.
Night Watch
The journey to recovery happens long before your enter the emergency room. Some people are not lucky enough to be able to transport themselves to a medical facility, meaning they have to call 911 to bring an ambulance to help. Night Watch follows a group of responded who work to bring people into safety after midnight. But like they often say, nothing good happens when the clock strikes 12.
Grey's Anatomy
It wouldn't be right to talk about medical shows without mentioning Grey's Anatomy. This is the OG series about doctors. This ensemble cast gone through everything together, from getting their licenses to employees leaving or unfortunately passing away. Unsurprisingly, you will feel every emotion possible as you see some of the events occur in this decades-spanning saga.
