Ranking The MOST Accurate Medical Dramas | Dr. Mike

House is the definition of “it’s better to ask for forgiveness than for permission” That and Hugh Laurie is just amazing

[@blooper6801]

House is a great show because house is a genius diagnostician. The show gets a lot of things right but I think it’s procedurally inaccurate. Like as diagnosticians they should be covering their bases first and doing all basic tests and bloodwork to diagnose patients but they don’t always have the order right. That said, they counteract that by accurately representing extremely rare conditions and I think it’s very neat

As a person who’s been the the ER more then my fair share, (I was a revolving door psych patient for 2.5 years) Who’s also had some physical health issues that had me in the ER, Chicago med is one of my favourites in terms of accuracy. Given I’ve only seen a few med dramas, but the fact they show and take great care in showing accurate representation of nurses is so heartwarming and they are just as important characters in the storylines unlike most “modern” med dramas, they also have a psychiatrist who is very kind and loves his job and genuinely wants to help people get better. I love it.

One thing I love about South Korean medical dramas (The Good Doctor was originally a S.K. drama) is that whenever they use an uncommon medical term they put the meaning at the bottom of the screen. I've always thought that it was cool.

@@graces.2632 I do not think that is always the case. I remember watching a medical drama years ago and they were explaining the diagnosis. At the bottom of the screen the condition was written in Korean and the subbers translated it. During the scene I did not recall any English being used. However, they might have used a shorten phrase or acronym in Korean. If I am remembering correctly in that scene, the medical term was coronary embolism it was something about the vein/arteries being clogged. I remembered it because I was in high school at the time and was interested in medicine.

Quite a few medical shows have that, to be fair. I sound like I'm bursting your bubble - I apologise. However, even if experts sit with the writers, not everything will be accurate.
