Physicians seek out films for various reasons, ranging from escapism to
humor to finding uplifting experiences that offer new insights into
daily life. Some of these films demonstrate the travails of dealing with the medical system or depict doctors who are emphatically not
worth emulating. Others illuminate the human condition or offer ethical
insights that are broadly applicable. Still others are simply
entertaining.
Here is Msongo's list ..
Grey's Anatomy is a medical drama set at the fictional Grey Sloan
Memorial Hospital in Seattle. The series covers the stories of the
interns and residents at the hospital as they try to balance their
personal lives with the demands of their medical training. The main
character is Meredith Grey, who is married to a neurosurgeon at the
hospital .The show follows her life as a third year resident at the
hospital in the surgical department run by Dr Richard Webber. It covers
not only her relationship with her husband, but also with her best
friend Cristina Yang and her interactions with the other doctors and
staff.
Michael Crichton has created a medical drama that chronicles life and
death in a Chicago hospital emergency room. Each episode tells the tale
of another day in the ER, from the exciting to the mundane, and the
joyous to the heart-rending. Frenetic pacing, interwoven plot lines, and
emotional rollercoastering is used to attempt to accurately depict the
stressful environment found there. This show even portrays the plight of
medical students in their quest to become physicians.
The series follows the life of anti-social, pain killer addict, witty
and arrogant medical doctor Gregory House with only half a muscle in his
right leg. He and his team of medical doctors try to cure very ill
ordinary people in the United States of America.
This series follows doctors working in a clinic in a South American
jungle. The head of the clinic is Ben Keeton. Otis Cole is doctor who
had a substance abuse problem. Zita Alvarez is Ben's right hand. Lily
Brenner is trying to cope with a loss. Tommy Fuller who is an easy going
guy, who makes mistakes. Mina Minard, a doctor who made a mistake which
affected her confidence. And Ryan Clark, a doctor whom Ben likes.
Having lost her medical license in the aftermath of a family tragedy,
Megan Hunt M.D. joined the medical examiners and proved herself a
forensic genius. Yet even diplomatic police partner Pete Dunlop can't
prevent her arrogant attitude and total disregard for any authority or
social norm to cause grave aggravation all around. Still, as long as the
perpetrators suffer most, the bulldozer approach pays off on the
balance.
Soon after her return from a business trip to Hong Kong, Beth Emhoff
dies from what is a flu or some other type of infection. Her young son
dies later the same day. Her husband Mitch however seems immune. Thus
begins the spread of a deadly infection. For doctors and administrators
at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, several days pass before anyone
realizes the extent or gravity of this new infection. They must first
identify the type of virus in question and then find a means of
combating it, a process that will likely take several months. As the
contagion spreads to millions of people worldwide, societal order begins
to break down as people panic.
Herbert Bock is chief of medicine in a major teaching hospital. His wife
has left him, he is impotent and his children have both disowned him.
He is toying with the idea of suicide when patients begin dying, not
from complications, but from the erroneous treatments the Hospital is
giving them. People in the wrong beds are given wrong medicines, sent to
operating theaters for incorrect surgery, and found in waiting rooms
dead of natural causes. Barbara Drummond has come to take her comatose
father back to the Sioux reservation where he operates a clinic and they
each reach out to each other for emotional support, as a shadowy figure
stalks the patients and staff of the hospital.
