Top 12 Must-Watch Medical and Hospital Drama TV series

In this list, we offer you the best medical and hospital drama.

1- House

This is not your usual drama series, House or “House MD” follows the eccentric genius doctor “House” as he saves his patients with his skills but with bad bed-side manners.

Sarcasm is the major part of the show alongside many medical mysteries, Some doctors may not like the show, but it's great especially for medical students.

The medical cases are well-designed by team of medical specialists and consultants, but what makes it truly unique is the amount of research required to design the medical cases.

I recommend this show for medical students, interns and medical residents.
