Medical Dramas Quiz – Drama in the Hospital

Medical dramas follow doctors, nurses and patients through life-and-death decisions. They combine emergencies, ethical dilemmas and personal relationships, and they have been popular on television for decades.

ER, set in Chicago and created by Michael Crichton, made George Clooney a star, and Grey's Anatomy in Seattle became the longest-running US primetime medical drama. Hugh Laurie played the brilliant, difficult Gregory House, a character inspired by Sherlock Holmes.
