Like approximately the entire world (if you consider the 467903 series that have been created to fill this 'niche'), I am rather partial to a hospital/medical-themed TV drama.

Gimme the emergency room flatline, the hook-ups in the locker room, and the mysterious ailment that no one hasever seen before.

It's just a winning combo.

However, not all medical dramas are created equal. So please allow me to walk you through my *somewhat controversial* ranking of some of the best.

This ranking may have cost me a work-wife relationship, but I stand by my choices.

From best to worst, here are the best medical dramas out there:

1. Scrubs.

Never have I met a person who didn't likeScrubs.

C'mon, it's got everything: comedy, drama, romance, heart, medical-ness.

Fellow '90s babies TELL ME you also had a crush on both J.D played by Zach Braff, and Turk played by Donald Faison?!?

There are nine seasons of this bad boy to binge and even though it aired between 2001 and 2010, it's still as delicious as ever. You can watch it right now on Stan.

The show follows the lives of employees at Sacred Heart Hospital and manages to combine slapstick humour with real, meaty drama.

Try to pretend like you don't know the lyrics to 'Guy love'... You so do.

Pause: here's a quick reminisce of the best medical TV show ever, Scrubs. Post continues after vid.

2. Offspring.

Ah, Nina Proudman, you strange but loveable weirdo.

Offspringis Australian TV at its absolute best. Funny, heart-wrenching, relatable and addictive.

Set in St Francis Hospital in Melbourne, the show centres on Nina - played by Asher Keddie - who is an obstetrician in her late 30s. And yes, I knowOffspringisn'tjusta medical show, but this is my ranking and I vote that it counts, so shhh.

Also, as if Patrick's death is still not the single most devastating television death of the last decade? That alone warrants its inclusion. I think about it often.

You can watch all seven seasons on Netflix.

3. Grey's Anatomy.

SorryGrey'sfans... I get that many of you are already raging thatGrey's Anatomyis not in the top spot. But if I had it my way, it would be... lower. I am merely caving to the peer pressure of myMamamiawork-wife who has informed me I will be dumped if I dare put it last.

Truth is, I have never properly watched it, despite a few attempts. It just never really... grabbed me.

But, I can appreciate an amazing cast and an insane longevity - 17 seasons is bloody impressive.

Grey's Anatomycentres around the life of Meredith Grey, an aspiring surgeon played by Ellen Pompeo. I've been told seasons 1-to 7 are a dream, but after that it goes a lil' (or a lot) downhill.

You can watch 14 seasons ofGrey'son Stan. Catch up on seasons 15 to 17 on Disney Plus.

4. New Amsterdam.

Ok, ok, ok.New Amsterdamis a relative newcomer on the medical TV block. It was only released in 2018, but already has three seasons under its belt with a fourth currently in production.

After becoming the medical director of one of the United States's oldest public hospitals, Dr Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) sets out to reform the institution's neglected and outdated facilities to treat the patients.

It's SO GOOD. Amazing twists and turns, really interesting medical dilemmas and a banging cast.

You can watch all three seasons on Netflix.

5. The Good Doctor.

The Good Doctoris binge-able, highly enjoyable goodness.

Shaun (Freddie Highmore), a young surgeon who has autism joins a renowned hospital in San Jose, California, and basically shows up his colleagues
