Inspiring Medical Documentaries!

[lurkingone]

For those of you interested in getting a taste of the world of medicine, here's a list of some popular award-winning medical documentary series that document the lives of healthcare workers in the hospital. It really does give you an idea of the difficulty of being a doctor or a nurse, and the personal struggles and challenges that go along with it. I would highly recommend watching Boston Med first.

 

Boston Med (Mass General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital):

 

Journey into Medicine (1947)

 

Blood and Guts: A History of Surgery (2008)
