Ranking The MOST Accurate Medical Dramas | Dr. Mike

lucky number seven is one that i know i'm gonna get heat for please don't attack me i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i've watched a lot of medical dramas over the last two years some of them really good and some of them that need a little bit of improvement a little bit and to cap off the year i'm gonna be ranking them from least to most accurate if you disagree with me on any of these on the list drop it down below in the comments i want to know your thoughts let's get started number 16 the least accurate medical drama that i watched on this channel is attaway general sorry to my dixie dimlio fans out there but the show just has inaccuracies galore the uniforms aren't right they're wearing hair nets at times they're having teenagers deliver medical care as volunteers i literally remember one scene when they were trying to save someone's life where the doctor was like checking a pulse like this and the ekg monitor just has colorful strips going across it that mean absolutely nothing just nothing makes sense on the show i get that it's young folks they're trying their first time at acting and i support that more power to them i'm strictly talking about the medical accuracy number 15 and the second least accurate medical drama doogie howser i can't believe it's this low on the list but the reality is it's an older show so the medical accuracy is just not up to par to our current standards also i really remember this one very awkward scene whoa maybe that kind of stuff was okay back then now it definitely freaked me out number 14 nurses i watched you with my good friend nurse bianca who also was heavy critical of the show there's just a lot of inaccuracies they don't follow a lot of the medical guidelines literally on the episode they had one of the nurses attacking another nurse for treating someone who was a known criminal we treat everybody in the medical space so that made no sense and then in another scene they had a doctor just say oh we ran out of oh blood so i'm just going to connect myself because i'm old blood and give it to the patient like no sir we don't do that that is highly inaccurate i'm calling bs i love nurses they're the backbone of medicine the show itself didn't do them justice lucky 13 is transplant i really like the premise of this one we have a syrian refugee that's thrust back into practicing medicine in canada i was really excited for it to work however in the very first scene you have an individual who's not a doctor in canada drilling into someone's head in order to save their life throughout the entire episode no one was doing chest compressions they were talking about intubating people getting cardiac consults where were the chest compressions chest compressions chest compressions chest compressions folks for number 12 we have royal pains the medical accuracy is just out of this world it's almost like they're functioning like an er specialist family medicine doctor interventional cardiologist toxicologist it's like they're super human he didn't even look at her eyes how does he know what her pupils look like it sounds like he has x-ray vision he could see from across the room that is not how a medical diagnosis is made and i feel like it misguides people into thinking doctors have to know right away what's going on a lot of times we don't and we have to investigate further by the way all the medical dramas i'm ranking now and i've reviewed in the past are linked down below so if you want to watch one of those in more detail check it out number 11 we have the night shift i know that there's a lot of fans on this show and they may be upset seeing their favorite medical drama this slow on the list it's just not so medically accurate at least to be fair the one episode i watched they had one doctor completely lose his mind like there was just so much unrealistic actions happening by the staff that it made it feel not medically accurate again the procedures they showed the medical illnesses they showed were so far out there that you probably wouldn't even find them in a medical book it would have to be a sub-sub-specialist medical book in order to find these conditions number 10 falling somewhere in the middle of the list is nurse jackie now this show is darker than most medical dramas on this list and i actually really enjoyed the depth of the show however the characters were just so aggressive in their illegal action if she forged his organ donor certificate on the back of his license that's crazy like there's just so many things that keep happening to make it seem outrageous to make it interesting it doesn't feel quite realistic coming in at number nine the resident i actually got invited by one of the cast members to be on the set with them got a behind-the-scenes tour super cool all that's linked down below i think the show falls somewhere in the middle of the pack when it comes to medical accuracy they use a lot of good medical terms that are accurate their procedures are performed with a decent level of accuracy the one thing that i will say is the residents on the show are really like cowboy residents they're doing whatever they want you do whatever the hell i tell you no questions asked so that really isn't realistic and just like any good medical drama the drama's turned up all time high while i dig the drama the realism falls somewhere right down the middle definitely one i enjoy though and i recommend you check out as well number eight we have new amsterdam all in all i think it's a good show it's quality it talks about really important systemic issues within healthcare well i think it takes on important challenges it also does it in a very unrealistic way at times well everyone in the cardiac surgical department please raise your hands great thank you you're all fired like that is not realistic who's gonna take care of the patients in the meantime i definitely want to check more episodes out of that show if you have a specific episode of new amsterdam you want me to watch drop it down below lucky number seven is one that i know i'm gonna get heat for please don't attack me i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm saying it now i'm sorry grey's anatomy i know i know it's so it's it's not it's not that accurate i know it's the most popular medical drama of all time probably and look i've watched four episodes of it on this channel i probably watched maybe a handful more on my own and it's just not medically accurate residents and interns are doing all sorts of advanced procedures with no oversight romance around every corner and heartbreak and drama and i know why so many of you love it i get it i like it too it's but still medical accuracy just it's not there for number six we have scrubs yes the famous famous satirical medical show scrubs i honestly struggled with this one i didn't know where to place it i know many of you at home on forums say scrubs is the most accurate show however i do think that it is an accurate satirical explanation of what happens or representation of what happens in hospitals but it is not medically accurate get her to open her mouth take a handful and throw it at her whatever sticks that's the correct dosage and it's a comedy so i get why they're doing it and i enjoy watching it but one of the things that kind of irks me with the show maybe because i'm so defensive and protective of my patients is i feel like they're mean to their patients sometimes and i know it's a joke but somehow it just gets in here for me number five we have chicago med a lot of these shows really just focus on doctors and chicago med really does a great job at showing nurses as part of the medical team the episode that i watched i couldn't find almost anything medically wrong with it it has good medical terminology the procedures that they're doing are accurate and the fact that they had a nurse telling a resident how to do chest compressions properly they were critiquing them that got me hyped number four we have code black this is the surprising one on the list the dark horse the black sheep if you will i really fell in love with this show it actually genuinely upset me to find out it was canceled the show felt like it was written by medical professionals and then someone added a little drama as opposed to someone that writes medical dramas and then they sprinkled some medicine into it i think the the real hard-hitting truth about the show is it does a good job at showing character development of medical professionals the stresses we have the struggles we have how we go about losing patients and talking with patients i think those were very real and clearly scripted by someone who's gone through that process let's bring it back let's resurrect code black who's with me number three we have house md i know so many house fans wanted him to be number one and while the show has incredible scientific rigor like it talks about true scientific conditions a lot of the zebra conditions that we've talked about on this channel ones that warrant more attention and while i think that's great i think the way that my manhouse md goes about it is just reckless i want to check for erdheim chester how does he know what that is i've never even heard of it he's funny he's interesting he's he's wacky he argues with people but also the residents and the fellows that are with him they each bring their own unique spin on the show so i'm a huge fan i want to watch more episodes of house md and i have it third on my list i wonder where it falls on yours we're at the top two folks it's getting serious the competition is heating up number two is the good doctor dr sean comes in with the accuracy depicting a true medical professional who is diagnosed with autism but is still doing their job phenomenally when they talk about medical conditions the way that they talk about it in a reasonable easy to understand way but still using medical terminology is awesome i love that they manage to inject humor even some of the most dark spots do you need me to listen to you anymore no that's how real life works that's how medicine works i actually just watched the good doctor covent 19 episode that's linked down below well worth a watch number one king of medical dramas at least in medical accuracy at least in my book it is two letters e r that's right folks it's an oldie but it's a classic it's so good 20 30 years later since its inception it's still bingeable it's still quality it still tells real-life stories about humans the issues that we run into hospitals to this very day still apply to the episodes that are found in er it's truly one of my favorite medical dramas the medical accuracy is really solid don't get me wrong they sometimes go overboard and they make diagnoses too quickly or too dramatically but the accuracy the heart of the show especially with how long the show has been around how many careers it's made george clooney it's number one in my books i know you want to disagree with me i know you have other thoughts and i want to hear your thoughts hit me in the comments down below tell me what your list looks like tell me which one of these you disagree with because i genuinely want to know if you love one of these medical dramas and you want me to watch a specific episode don't hesitate to drop that in the comments too i really enjoy all these medical dramas so i'm linking them all down below for you or you could just click on this playlist
