Noah Wiley can’t seem to escape the emergency room. After spending more than a decade on NBC’s ’90s mega-hit E.R., he’s back in scrubs for HBO’s buzzy new doctor show The Pitt<\/em>. If that show hasn’t quite scratched your itch for medical drama, there are plenty of other shows to stream.<\/p>\n

The genre’s roots can be traced back to the early ’60s, and the sexy Dr. Kildare<\/em>, but it really exploded in the ’70s with shows like Medical Center<\/em>, Emergency!<\/em>, and Quincy, M.E.<\/em>, all of them fairly soapy dramas with plenty of action and occasional doses of silliness. Later in the decade, M.A.S.H. <\/em>became a hit by lacing the sit-com formula with medical pathos, but it was 1982’s St. Elsewhere <\/em>that gave us the template for the medical shows of today: dramatic, serious, and with a large cast of doctors and nurses whose personal lives are often in conflict with their work. That show set the standard, and inspired dozens of medical shows that followed\u2014a bunch of which you can currently find on your favorite streaming service. <\/p>\n

But first, a little about The Pitt <\/em>if you have yet to check in for your appointment. Noah Wyle (ER<\/em>) is back in scrubs as Dr. Michael “Robby” Rabinavitch, senior attending at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital\u2019s emergency room. Robby\u2019s mentor died during the height of COVID-19, and he\u2019s only just recovering from his traumatic experiences. It’s gonna be a long day, though: Each episode is a single hour of his 15-hour shift. It\u2019s relatively early days, but the show has already won critical acclaim and a renewal for a second season. You can stream The Pitt<\/em> on Max<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
