kitty24shoes2000 It is the best show every on small screen. Rosa Blasi (Dr. Lu Delgato) and Patricia Richardson (Dr. Andy Campell) are great actors!!!. When Rosa Blasi yells you want to hide, when Patrica turns serious or worries, you are dying to know what is the matter. I know I have cried numerous times during the show. You can watch any episode and know what is happening. That one episode you watch, will not be your last...I guarantee!! Everything that happens is so realistic!!!!! I love that show. Jenifer Hawkins (Lana) is so wonderful!! Peter and Lanna's story can be the funniest and coolest part of the show. I know almost anyone who watches it will love it!!!

Shari I would recommend anyone to watch this show. Lifetime has an eye for brilliant ideas when it comes to their shows. The storylines are real and open up the viewer's mind to the frailty of life and how other people are coping with things you can't imagine. I lost touch with it a little after Dana left because I didn't think I'd be accustomed to the mom from Home Improvement as her replacement. I don't quite remember why Dana left. I think she wanted to have kids? Anywho, Dr. Delgado is awesome and puts her opinions out there for the world to know. Even in medicine, there are systems of inequality and I like that they let you know that. I love Lana's character and how she fits into the equation. Their lives are pretty interesting too, but the show focuses on the neglected needs of women which is what is really interesting. What's good for the goose isn't necessarily good for the gander.

InstantEntertainment I know, I know... that's another show. Strong Medicine is just fantastic, and I feel pretty bad that it took me so long to discover it, but having been an ER-viewer for so long, it was odd to discover a much better hospital series. Not that ER is much at the moment, so my comparison might go wrong there. I just love this show and Rosa Blasi, who plays Dr. Lu Delgado, is just fantastic. When she gets mad, you just want to go into hiding yourself. Too bad that Janine Turner's character Dr. Dana Stowe doesn't give much resistance to the strong personality of Lu and sometimes I wonder if her task is just to have a sheepish look on her face. Lana (Jenifer Lewis) is a great character too, a little over the top like she's supposed to. Nurse Riggs is very unique in many ways, but I loved the scene in which he goes to console Lu after she's been raped and he has tears sliding down his cheeks. He seems like the perfect guy. The character of Dr. Jackson is cold and strict but human too. In short: a terrific show! Funny and sad at the same time, pointing the finger in a subtle way at flaws in the system.

Charlies_girl7681 'Strong Medicine' deals with the latest medical findings and procedures. I think that the best part about the show is, other than the great actors, is that Whoopi Goldberg and Tammy Ader (executive producers) appointed the lead characters to be women, very different women. At the end of the show, people get to see the points of view from the down-to-earth free clinic doctor Luisa (Lu) Delgado, played by Emmy nominee Rosa Blasi, and her partner, the high ranking, Dr. Dana Stowe, played by Emmy winner Janine Turner. The acting is superb! The supporting cast has won numerous awards for their work in various shows and movies. People are not blasted over the head with the show saying this is the answer at the end people can think; well I wonder what the answer really is. In every episode I promise that you probably won't make it through without crying. The show also has many funny characters that lighten the mood. Strong Medicine helps you understand what goes on in a hospital and what an ER, OBGYN doctor's day is like, including their personal lives. Right now the show includes doctor who just adopted two children, and another is trying to recover from her . If you are even the slightest bit curious about hospitals or a dramatic show, this is the one for you. Strong Medicine is on Lifetime 8:00 pm Sundays.
