I love medical TV shows! I remember as a teenager, lugging my doona down to the back room to watch Doctor In The House on the old TV and then A Country Practice.
By the time I was nursing we all used to gather in the Nurse's Home and watch 'The Flying Doctors' ...all that red outback dirt, the planes, the adrenaline pumping emergency evacuations, handsome doctors and the romance between the staff. And then there was M*A*S*H, who could forget Hawkeye!
When I was thirty the US television dramas started to arrive. New, high octane medical shows with a LOT of adrenaline and a dollop of romance, piggy backing on the true and tried shows like 'Doctor Kildare'
I quickly became hooked on 'ER', 'Chicago Hope' and today it's 'Grey's Anatomy','House' and the off-the-wall comedy of Scrubs. Why? Well let me see…Gorin Visnjic, Hugh Lawrie, Patrick Dempsey, George Clooney…all those gorgeous men!
Just recently I've been watching Mercy, Nurse Jackie and Royal Pains. Man, those blue eyes of Dr Hank get me every time!
Somewhere along the way I also discovered Harlequin Medical Romances and I was totally hooked with this great combination. I get my 'fix' of medicine, which has always fascinated me, AND I get a great romance. So, when I thought I would write a book, Medical Romance was the obvious choice.
and they were a ratings success.
