Hm. Do you have examples of this alleged hypercompetence and "docganda"?

I've seen lots of medical dramas which, while not the main subject, place some emphasis on corruption, big pharma, perverse incentives, malpractice, doctors that do needless surgeries, cases where "do no harm" is not followed, insurance denying rightful treatments, funding problems from corporate sponsors, drug addictions in doctors, exploiting nurses, residents making mistakes because they are exhausted, etc.

Of course, all sprinkled with personal drama, romance, and interesting cases, this being television after all. One example in mind is "The Resident", but there are others.
