Medical television shows have been pretty popular for a long time now, as compared to all the other types of TV series that have been accessible over the years.
Whether educational, covering technical facets of complex operations, romanticized into tales about love, treason, career changes, and friendship reconciliations, or even based around murderous crimes, they provide pure entertainment.
With that, here are few of the greatest medical drama series you can binge on Netflix this year:
1. 'Chicago Med'
The medical staff at the fictitious Gaffney Chicago Medical Center is the focus of "Chicago Med," the third book in Dick Wolf's Chicago trilogy.
Even while medical situations need doctors and nurses to act immediately, there are still issues in their personal lives they need to address.
From interpersonal ties to a trying past, the fascinating characters take viewers on an exciting journey, Dot Com Stories writes.
2. 'Night Shift'
According to Vocal Media, even though this program has only been aired for four seasons, it has been of the highest caliber from the very beginning.
It smoothly combines the military experiences of some of the key characters' past and present deployments in perilous Middle Eastern nations, despite being centered on the night shift of a Texas emergency department.
Almost single scene in this show features either fascinating medical procedures or deep emotional material, keeping your eyes glued to the screen the entire time.
3. 'Grey's Anatomy'
Without a question, one of the most well-known medical dramas of all time is "Grey's Anatomy," as it has received multiple recognitions from critics and fans alike.
It will certainly become one of your all-time favorite shows because it is so masterfully written and conceptually ambitious.
In addition to the lives of the medical staff at a fictional Seattle hospital, it also follows Meredith Grey's personal and professional lives, The Cinemaholic notes.
4. 'Private Practice'
The spinoff "Private Practice," which centers on Dr. Addison Montgomery's life in Los Angeles following her breakup with Derek, has surprisingly few Grey's Anatomy viewers.
Much of "Private Practice" is strong enough to stand alone as a superb medical drama, the sporadic meetings with the beloved Seattle surgeons elevate it to even greater heights and are greatly welcomed by fans.

5. 'Life'
Even in the realm of medicine, undercurrents of politics and corruption can be felt, as is true for other professions, The Cinemaholic details.
This South Korean television show centers on a university hospital that fights to uphold its principles while a private company assumes control of its operations.
In the drama, the hospital's medical staff unites to confront and resist the forces attempting to turn the nonprofit hospital into a profit-making plan.
6. 'Hospital Playlist'
In the South Korean television show "Hospital Playlist," a group of doctors who have known each other since medical school are followed.
According to Dot Com Series, significant attention has been paid to the series' writing as it draws attention to the complexities of the characters and their interactions.
One of the most popular Korean dramas in the world, the program was written and directed by Lee Woo-jung and Shin Won-ho.
7. 'Scrubs'
Compared to other medical dramas, "Scrubs" places a little less emphasis on actual medicine, but it is still well worth the time.
Although "Scrubs" takes place at a teaching hospital, like "Grey's Anatomy," it is much more comic than dramatic, Vocal Media reviews.
The over-the-top but nonetheless endearing and recognizable characters will keep your interest just as well as any tense and graphic surgical scene.
