No, there are hundreds, thousands. You could be buried underneath them. There are so many medical shows right now. It's wild.

Well, so a lot of these live on network television. And if you have only ever been watching Netflix or Max in the last couple years, but you're like, I need more doctors. Where are all the doctors? They're on network TV. They've always been. They've never left. But now there are all these other options. There is one called Watson on CBS, and that one is your more detective-y kind of medical drama.

Not a lot of blood, not a lot of guts, a lot of people staring at a board and being like, what if it's this genetic mystery? That's the vibe of Watson. There's a truly bonkers one called Doc that's on Fox. And the premise of Doc, roughly, is that the main character suffered a traumatic brain injury and does not remember the last eight years, but does still remember mostly how to be a doctor.

And so she's just wandering around the hospital, like, being a doctor, even though she's also, you know, not fully compos mentis. But... The other great thing about Doc is that it turns out eight years ago, she was a jerk. And now she's nice. So she's trying to understand everything that happened to her in the last eight years to turn her into a jerk. That show's crazy.

Look, there's a lot of options for people. If you prefer your medical dramas to be not in English, there's also Berlin ER on Apple TV Plus that's quite good. And like The Pit, that's kind of the vibe of Berlin ER. But if you're like not that kind of not in English, there are also several Korean, new Korean medical shows on Netflix, too. So again, you're hurting for choice, really.
