I don't think there are any osteopathic medicine documentaries on that list.

I literally thought this thread was going to be someone asking for someones netflix account to watch the new releases haha

" Getting On" on HBO is great also
"The waiting room" on Netflix, deals with the uninsured using the ER as their sole means of care. Pretty good watch
Vegas ER is ridic. Though it annoys the hell out of me that the shows are circa mid-90's.
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 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.
"Baghdad ER" is great
That sounds awesome. Definitely will check this out.
The Boston Med and NY Med shows from like 7ish years ago are pretty cool too.
If you really want to see what medicine is like I highly recommend "Scrubs". Very enlightening.
I thought this was a good documentary. I watched it on Amazon Prime, so it might still be available there.
Also Scrubs.
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!

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".

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.
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.
Agreed. I laughed at how big of a dick they make Train out to be.
Remote Area Medical is still in theaters, but may be on Netflix next year: https://www.facebook.com/remoteareamedicalmovie
Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare was very good. The DO in Oregon's day looks like a typical day of my shadowing. I hope I last longer than she did.

Keep your eyes peeled; I hope Code Black makes it to Netflix eventually: http://codeblackmovie.com/
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.
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.

free on optimum on demand!
Ah damn. Too late for me! Are there any other good shows on there?
I don't think that is any secret. He is still awesome though.
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."
Dr. House was one of my favorite tv doctors as well. But for precisely that his personality.
Eh. Vanderbilt MDs is not worth the watch in my opinion.
Vanderbilt MDs spends half the episode showing a bunch of socially inept nerds having awkward dinner conversations about saving the world - one hypertensive patient at a time.
Bumping this old thread to say that I've just discovered "Getting On" and it is great!
This does indeed sound awesome. Like the harvard med version of Boyhood.

See I enjoy watching them. My mom is a nurse and whenever I visit her we will watch house and shout out diagnoses at the tv... Typically when we watch House.
Mock greys anatomy constantly as well but I'm sadly addicted 😀

Greys anatomy is amazing
Yaaaaaas I just got started a couple weeks ago and I'm hooked
Tbh same. Except The Nick because there's more to it than just medicine.
Like whorehouses, dope, and gangsters.

Doctors' Diaries is both amazing and depressing.
Follows Harvard docs from med school through practice and many of them turn out miserable.
