    The best unscripted show on commercial television this season, which you may correctly point out is faint praise; but in this case, it's not.

    There's something about the terrible lighting, those horrible curtain dividers, the washed-out gowns that makes every patient seem extraordinarily vulnerable. Which, of course, they are, as are we all, including the men and women who provide our last line of defense in this life. This is precisely the stuff of great drama and of great documentary, but it gets a little troublesome when combining the two.

    Crucial, sometimes hopeful and sometimes worrisome as the larger issues of modern medicine are, Hopkins excels on the human side.

    You can't bring it back soon enough for me. It's an awesome show and I'm disappointed that it isn't on anymore. It is inspiring and exhilarating. Please bring it back there are so many that miss it!!… Expand

    One of the most boring TV shows I've seen. Besides the female urologist, the other surgeons are arrogant and self-indulgent.
