Medical TV shows taking the world by storm!?!?

Tweet

Why is it that every time I turn the TV on I see the life monitor of a patient. OK, so maybe that's an exageration, but medical TV shows are the new reality shows. Grey's Anatomy seems to be the most popular, but you can't forget about the ever so popular House and Nip Tuck. And those are only three of the many more out there. What's with this new sparked interest in the medical drama of the world? I mean, I guess we don't turn the show on to watch the diagnosis of the next patient, we really turn it on to see the drama between the characters. But why in the setting of the hospital? It really isn't a romantic setting. Where are all the shows about Vets, granted they did make an appearance on Grey's, but that was soon over. What about shows about proffesors, or school teachers, or fire fighters? yes, there are one or two of these shows out there, but almost nothing compared to the medical dramas. What's so fascinating about a Hospital? Please share. :)
