House (Amazon Prime Video)

House ran on the Fox network for eight seasons and focused on Dr Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), an unconventional, misanthropic medical genius who, despite his dependence on pain medication, leads a team of diagnosticians at Princeton’s Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. Throughout the series, House often clashed with his fellow physicians because many of his hypotheses about patients’ illnesses are based on subtle or controversial insights, and routinely disregards hospital rules and procedures. The character was in part inspired by Sherlock Holmes. House was consistently one of the top ten watched shows in the United States for its first several seasons and the most-watched show in the world in 2008.

ER 

Still from ER (1994-2009)

Much before Grey’s Anatomy took credit for making it seem like all doctors do is make out in elevators and perform surgeries on people impaled on the same rod on an everyday basis, there was Michael Crichton’s ER. One of the most successful medical dramas in TV history, ER can be credited for making George Clooney a household name. The show followed the inner workings of an ER (emergency room) in Chicago and the lives of the people working in it. 

Scrubs (Amazon Prime Video)

The show explores the lives of the staff of Sacred Heart Hospital through new intern JD’s (Zach Braff) eyes. It shows realistic medical cases, sometimes tweaked for the sake of comedy. There are themes that aptly resonate in a medical field, such as tense relationships between surgical and internal medicine residents, and keeping pessimism at bay despite being surrounded by death and disease at all times.

The drug-abusing, philandering nurse Jackie Peyton isn’t instantly likeable but is very compelling. The show follows her on the journey as she struggles to balance her work and personal life, all the while bending rules here and there.
