What television show best portrayed your profession? There have been many medical shows over the years with doctors, nurses, etc. For me, there was a web series that portrayed retail pharmacy pretty well, but I don't think it ever got off the ground. What do you think is the best TV show to accurately show what your job is like?

Many medical shows exaggerate reality for drama. Some professionals say shows like Scrubs captured workplace humour and relationships more accurately than others.

I can't think of any that show the admin side of healthcare, it's always focused on the doctors lol

I think I'm probably an outlier in this bowl because I absolutely detest medical shows and never watch them 😂. A couple of my coworkers were shocked to find out how much I hate Grey's Anatomy, and I was just as shocked to find out how much they love it. Like....THIS IS ALL SO UNREALISTIC!!!!!! How can anyone who works in healthcare enjoy it?!

I would say The Pitt does a pretty good job describing the chaos of the ER. I hadn't really seen a reality show until that one came out. If you haven't seen it, you should definitely watch it.

I agree about The Pitt. It makes it hard for me to watch because of that.

As I said before, there are no TV shows that really portray pharmacists at all. But as far as medical shows go, I really liked the show *ER* from back in the day. It was truly a pioneer in that genre of TV shows.

I never knew that Nurse Jackie had a storyline about a pharmacist. My wife has been watching that show, but I have not. I will have to check it out. Thank you for the information.
