TV Medical Shows

This is from a Nursing Advocacy Newsletter that I receive:

"September 2005 -- The fall 2005 U.S. television season promises a lot of influential health-related serial programming. But since nearly every major character is a physician--literally dozens--it seems unlikely that nurses will receive their due. At the top of the list are the three hugely successful returning prime time hospital dramas: NBC's " ER" (premieres Sept. 22), Fox's " House" (Sept. 13), and ABC's " Grey's Anatomy" (Sept. 25). Of the 25 major characters in these three shows, 24 are physicians, and only one--"ER"'s Sam Taggart--is a nurse. "

I guess the networks feel that the ratings are with the docs?
