Tropes of TV Medical Dramas

Many scripted series consult with actual doctors in order to accurately portray medical professionals on television — but that doesn’t always mean your favorite show gets it right. We discuss some of the top TV tropes (like Dr. Jerk and instant bullet removal) that could get a doctor fired in real life. **GROSS ANATOMY PODCAST IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH PROVIDER WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING A MEDICAL CONDITION.

Om Podcasten

Gross Antaomy is where pop culture and health culture meet. Dr. Jason Cohen and Ali address medical questions that the doc is asked by friends, family, and often strangers. We also love to talk pop culture and how it relates to health and medicine — like celebrity diets, Amy Schumer speaking out about endometriosis and our doctor reviews of medical TV and movies. We also splice in professional interviews, check out our episode with TV writer and The Resident co-creator Dr. Roshan Sethi, or our interview with famous plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Rey aka DR. 90210, and don't miss our Q&A with Miss USA Nana Meriwether and many more!
