Top 10 Best TV Medical Dramas
House is an American television medical drama that originally ran on the Fox network for eight seasons, from November 16, 2004 to May 21, 2012. The MOST amazing show ever! Addicting, eye-catching, and mind-blogging. Hugh Laurie is so intriguing. Can't even tell his accent is fake. Sadly it ended too early, as House says,"Everybody dies". Laurie, even off-screen is just as sarcastic on-screen. His twitter account proves that. The entire cast; 13,Cuddy, Foreman, Chase, Cameron, Wilson, Kurtner, and undoubtedly House. Happy Laurie has more family time. It teaches you life lessons. Just one of the best shows ever. No other medical drama can't beat House, M.D.
This is by far the best medical drama of all times! Best acting, super characters, just the right amount of humour, mystery and drama. The best part of House is that it never overdoes any of those things which is why it's so much fun to watch. House touches the sense of loneliness in each one of us even though we live among friends and family. After Friends, it's the second series I can watch over and over again.
I can't believe House isn't first on the list of MEDICAL dramas. I mean, I hadn't seen a medical show to date where the actual medical case is more focused on than the drama part of the show until I saw House. The creators are genius- they created a Sherlock Holmes of medicine, weaving mysteries into medical cases. House just can't lose an argument. Incredibly intelligent show.
Superb show. House's philosophy is truly amazing and unlike many others it's nearly impossible to argue with. I sometimes find my self arguing something and then releasing I just quoted (or said something very similar to) what is said in this show. Not just a medical drama, a brilliant look upon the true nature of the world.
Grey's Anatomy is an American medical drama television series that premiered on American Broadcasting Company as a mid-season replacement on March 27, 2005. The series focuses on the fictional lives of surgical interns, residents and attending physicians, as they evolve into seasoned doctors while trying to maintain personal lives and relationships. Grey's Anatomy is my favorite show ever! It definitely deserves number one on this list! From the complex and interesting medical cases to the multi-faceted characters, this show has it all. Sure, there's a lot of drama, (don't get too attached to one character, they'll probably die) but it makes the show great. The characters are easy to love and you're sure to binge-watch this show!
House used to be my favourite programme on US T.V. by a country mile. After watching the first 6 series of Greys then going back to House... House now seems very far fetched, over-acted and a little too fantastical. Grey's is not as medically accurate but the characterisation and realism is better.
BEST SHOW EVER! I started it and can't stop watching it now! The characters are all so realistic, funny, charming, and heartbreaking. I cry so much every time a beloved character dies. *Spoilers*! (Denny, George, Lexie, Mark, and Derek) also cried when Christina left.
Pick me choose me love me! The writing on this show is SUPERB. House gets so predictable and boring, but Grey's Anatomy has kept me enthralled for all eight seasons. By far some of the best character studies in television history.
Let's keep things realistic - ER is the best.
I honestly think all the seasons were fantastic. I mean, it was so popular, it kept fans entertained for 15 years! That statistic speaks for itself. All the cast- especially the original - were incredible. And so realistic, we all know the first few seasons was when ER was at its peak, but it never ceased to amaze me when I couldn't tear my eyes away. Should be #1!
Grey anatomy and house are no where near as good. ER is the closest to real life. Grey's anatomy had a musical episode plus the hole soap opera aspect kills it. How's had an episode with an alien on it are you kidding me. Dr is the most realistic and that's what makes for a good medical drama, not phony stories no matter how entertaining it is.
ER definitely needs to be listed as #1 The richness of the characters and the complex story lines keep viewers entertained for 15 years. Greys Anatomy is a good show, but doesn't come close to competing with ER for top medical drama. I suspect it has so many votes because ER has been off the air for so many years!
ER should be first, it was the longest running medical drama, and the best one out there. The character development was amazing it feels like they are real people, you become attached and when characters leave the story you began to miss them. ER is a must watch for all who like medical dramas.
So over-the-top with story lines that took comical turns, and graphic surgical depictions that made squeamish viewers turn away for certain scenes, Nip/Tuck was a sometimes fun, sometimes deadly-serious drama about plastic surgeons. BFFs Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) and Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) managed to maintain a joint practice despite their chaotic personal lives and conflicted friendship (sorely tested when Sean found out that his randy friend Dr. Troy was actually the father of Sean's son Matt). Scandalous, yes, but nothing some ripped-from-today's-headlines cases (a woman attacked by a friend's chimp, for instance) and a string of big-name guests (Alec Baldwin, Rosie O'Donnell, Larry Hagman, Brooke Shields, Alanis Morissette, Vanessa Redgrave, Joan Rivers and Mario Lopez) couldn't help the docs through.

Kate Walsh makes the show absolutely relatable but at the same time so attention grabbing with her amazing acting skills. The storyline is also filled with surprising twists and turns that is sure to keep you on the edge of the seat. The setting in a private practice instead of a usual hospital also gives the movie a refreshing feel, yet it does not lack in the do or die element in many hospital-based medical shows. A must watch
I love this show, wish it never ended it was a great show. I love Kate Walsh in this show she's so pretty and a great actor.
My favorite medical drama. Realistic with a great cast!
Great show! So sad it's finished
Premiering in 2001, this American medical comedy-drama follows the lives of doctors and nurses working at Sacred Heart Hospital. The series blends medical realities with humor and emotional moments, and has been acclaimed for its writing and performances. Scrubs is refreshingly honest. No generic laugh track to back up its jokes, because they're always stellar. No constant crying adults to emphasize the drama, because it's always heart wrenching. What makes this show incredible is the way it can switch between the two almost effortlessly, seamlessly binding humour and drama with the daily struggle of the noble medical profession.
And JD's inner monologue? You can't help but love the goofball.
Laugh out loud at the guys who said either Greys' Anatomy or House, M.D. Both of these suck big time. Scrubs is genius. Every episode of it is a masterpiece and way more dramatic and intriguing than anything in the rest of the medical shows.
A truly amazing show, not just my favourite medical dram but my favourite T.V. show ever. It'll have you in stitches one minute and tears the next, it's a very satisfying show to watch. Love it.
Scrubs was the first medical type show I ever watched and I fell in love with it. I recommend it to all of my friends and anyone else!
Debuting in 1972, this American television series is based on a 1968 novel by Richard Hooker. Centered on a mobile army surgical hospital during the Korean War, the show blends drama and comedy to explore the lives of military doctors and nurses. The series garnered critical acclaim and became one of the most-watched shows in U.S. television history. A very realistic medical show about the Korean War. Hawkeye is a great character, his insanity is one of the things that keep the whole unit from breaking down in the stress of war time and yet he never lets anyone forget that they operate on living human beings no matter if they're a North Korean soon-to-be prisoner of war, or a child hit from shelling.
Chicago med is about doctors and nurses saving people lives thanks to dr. andrew dennis the medical advisor for Chicago med make this show so successful their next step should be family practice make sure they are doing right then they are ready to do it in real life for the next 10 years
At first, when I saw Chicago med I thought it would be one of those weird types of medical dramas but the second I finished the 1rst episode I couldn't stop watching it is so amazing so realistic things and problems it the best series in the world.
I love the cross overs with the other chicago series (chicago fire and chicago PD). It's a good show with lots of deep characters.
The series is top notch. Dr. Megan Hunt was a very interesting character who delights from episode to episode.
On my top choice for sure. Brilliant
Why only 3 seasons? Great show! You
Very good show! Funny and smart!
I really liked the background of the whole show. It isn't just your average hospital show... It's something different and that's what got me hooked and attached to the characters, like I personally knew them.
Entertaining, humorous and intriguing! A brilliant medical drama! It keeps on your toes and makes you anticipate and savor every moment!
I wish this show was still airing, it was great I enjoyed it.
Brilliant, bring it back! Veronica was wicked
One of the best shows hands down.
When it is coming back on?
Why isn't this at the top, I'm so obsessed with it. It's the best long running medical drama out there.
Casualty is definitely the best medical drama I've seen!
Best medical drama so far!
Simply the best. End of...
One of the most thrilling and realistic and above all ACCURATE portrayal of emergency medicine! Love it!
Great show! I find something in my emotional DNA being stirred each show! Impressed healthcare worker
Each episode keeps me glued to my seat from start to end...
Better than ER. Well written. Keeps you on edge.
Very entertaining show! I felt really connected with Dr. Owens and I felt the things she often discussed about I could really relate to. She inspired me
It was a good show they should have not cancelled the show but it makes sense cause they rushed into everything to fast.
Fun show! Wish they would bring it back!
Simular to Greys anatomy
This is such an underrated show. David Morse is amazing in his role on St. Elsewhere. this show is amazing
