Medicine interview - medical drama

Are there any medical dramas which are relevant to interviews? As in, the situations are dealt with in an ethically sound manner?

Don't watch dramas - watch things like 24 Hours in A&E, or Hospital (very good), One Born Every Minute as these are fly on the wall documentaries featuring real patients and real doctors in real life situations.

Most medics I know would say that an old series called Cardiac Arrest was the closest fiction to the real things (and Jed Mercurio, who wrote it, was a junior doctor).
On the whole, I would steer clear of mentioning TV programmes, as it is likely to get an internal eye roll from the interviewer
