Why do we as Americans flock to Medical Dramas like rabbits to aromatic herbs? We can’t get enough! Since 1951, starting with City Hospital, there have been 140 medical TV shows on air, which is insane. Some have even gone on for over 21 years, "Greys Anatomy" we’re looking at you. This week, Kal sits down with Simran Baidwan, executive producer and writer of the Emmy-winning TV show "The Pitt". She's also a writer and producer of "The Good Doctor", "Chicago Med", "Royal Pains", and her first job in Hollywood was actually on "House", so if anyone out there knows about the healthcare industry on screen, it's Simran.
