They suddenly burst onto television screens and became so popular with the viewer that the directors began to stamp them in large numbers. Of course, the quality of some of them leaves much to be desired. But the series about medics, a list of which is presented in this article, definitely differ from the general mass.
В России любовь к медицине на телеэкранах It was born in 1999, after the show of the series "Ambulance", which has been going on in the USA for five years and was considered the best in its genre. Before that, in our country, the medical topic was only accessed a couple of times in several serial television films. But hardly anyone remembers the Days of the Mishkin's Surgeon, where he played the brilliant Oleg Efremov or the nine-part film Open Book. The topic did not turn out to be in demand at the time, but now every Russian TV channel is proud to have released another series about medics. The Russian audience began his acquaintance with the film works of Americans.
"Ambulance"
The series was released in 1994. Its creator was Michael Crichton, who himself worked as a doctor in the emergency room. Actually, the idea was based on the life experience of the producer.

Thus, the idea and the almost completely written script lay on the shelf for more than ten years. The course of the case was given by the producer center S. Spielberg, who shot a pilot series. He worked in the team for another year, and then left.
Medical drama broadcast a long fifteen years. During this time, she won 23 Emmy Awards and was nominated countless times.
