random question lol, does anyone have any recommendations for neflix shows/documentaries that have information about osteopathic medicine or medicine in general?
There is a documentary, Doctors Diaries, that was on Netflix, and now can be viewed for free on PBS. The documentary followed Harvard med students around in school, then in their residencies and finally in their professional lives.
I thought this was a good documentary. I watched it on Amazon Prime, so it might still be available there.I don't think this is on Netflix, but I highly highly recommend "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare". http://escapefiremovie.com/. It's not specific to osteopathic medicine, but addresses the US healthcare system as a whole, very informative, surprisingly positive and uplifting despite the subject matter. One of the stories does involve a D.O. working at a community clinic in Oregon.

Sounds like that is only going to be on a local Florida PBS station. Hopefully there will be a link so everyone can watch it after it airs.I'm pretty sure PBS is doing a special on women in medicine where they worked with a DO that wrote the book "The Feminine Touch: History of Women in Osteopathic Medicine".
That sounds awesome. Definitely will check this out.
The Boston Med and NY Med shows from like 7ish years ago are pretty cool too.
Vanderbilt MDs is interesting as well. It's not on Netflix, but I think the first episode is available for free on YouTube. There are quite a few times it reminds me of a drama-filled reality show, but there is some decent stuff on there.
Also, you can never go wrong with House!
Wow I've never heard of Vanderbilt MDs. Thanks for the suggestion, seems pretty good so far but I get that same drama show vibe from it.
The whole housing situation and the drama involved in that takes away from the show. The actual medical parts are interesting though.
Yeah, and they play on a lot of the stereotypes. But all in all it's a new thing to watch. Found the whole season on you tube.
Doctors' Diaries is on youtube. It's a little depressing though.
Agreed. I laughed at how big of a dick they make Train out to be.
Had a netflix marathon and finished all episodes haha. It was pretty neat. Idk if they're going to have additional seasons or what not but I enjoyed it a lot.
Where did you watch the full season? It's not on netflix.

It's a series on youtube actually. You can watch the first episode but pay 8 bucks to see all 6 on you tube.
free on optimum on demand!
I've watched (some) House and I can say when they draw blood and do their own lab work.... that is most definitely false. At one point a Doctor is calibrating a centrifuge, not exactly realistic.
Ah damn. Too late for me! Are there any other good shows on there?
hmmm NY Med used to be on there too, it still might be. then you can get the usual Grey's Anatomy and House too I'm sure lol
I've seen all of NY Med but strangely enough I have not seen a single episode of Grey's Anatomy and only 2 episodes of House. My lack of interest in medicine is alarming D:
I used to watch a bit of House when I saw it on TV. I've always found it so unrealistic that, while entertaining, it just didn't get me hooked at all. Grey's Anatomy just comes across as a chick show so I've never seen that either lol. Next on my list is this "Doctor Diaries" everyone speaks of!
I enjoyed House because of his personality, not due to the medicine. On another note, if anyone needs a good read, Dr. Lisa Sanders, the advisor for the show, wrote a pretty cool book called "Every Patient Tells a Story."

Bumping this old thread to say that I've just discovered "Getting On" and it is great!" Getting On" on HBO is great also

In curb your enthusiasm, Larry David's uncle is an osteopath. Very informative stuff.
Greys anatomy is amazing
I cannot stand watching doctor shows.
