The pandemic made the world realise the importance of doctors. On World Health Day, let's salute doctors and nurses who are doing their best to help the victims of COVID-19. We can continue to help the doctors by maintaining social distancing and minimise public outings by catching up on a few medical dramas at the comfort of our homes:
Grey's Anatomy
One of the most popular American medical dramas, it revolves around the title character, Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), who was first seen as an intern back in 2005. It told the stories of the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns and their supervisors. Over the years, many original cast members have bid farewell to the show. Actor Justin Chambers was the latest one to quit the show and confirmed he won't be returning for an 17th season. Take a walk through their lives on Amazon Prime Video.
