Although it may not seem like the best time to watch hospital shows, it can be very comforting to see competent doctors do the best they can for their patients. With the streaming world having so much to offer, it’s easy to find a compelling show that can keep our minds occupied and entertained. Here are just some of the engaging shows that stand up at any time.
Scrubs
For anyone who’s a fan of lighthearted comedy wrapped around something as serious as modern medicine, Scrubs is an excellent show to watch or rewatch. It’s always entertaining and can be quite informative, especially when touching on more serious subjects, such as showing the way and speed at which germs can spread, which they did in one of their iconic episodes.
Nurse Jackie
Eddie Falco stars in this critically acclaimed series. What makes this show stand out is that its narrative is focused on one of the pivotal parts of modern medicine which is the nursing staff. The contribution and care nurses provide is invaluable and yet often goes unmentioned, which is why this show is a breath of fresh air.
The Good Doctor
This medical drama features a young doctor Shawn Murphy with a lot to overcome. His dedication to providing his patients with the care and help they need is always inspiring. Through his skills and abilities, he proves himself to all the colleagues in his hospital.
Other Notable Hospital Shows
There is so much to choose from when it comes to quality hospital shows. One of the all-time favorites for many is E.R. This medical drama stars George Clooney and Julianna Margulies, and an unending rollercoaster of emotions. Watch Neil Patrick Harris as a teenage genius in Doogie Howser, MD, or binge-watch a few episodes of New Amsterdam to see a dedicated doctor do his best to help patients instead of the hospital. The list goes on and many of these shows can be streamed online, so make yourself comfortable and pick your favorite!
