Respira
The public hospital Joaquin Sorolla in Valencia brings together skilled doctors and young residents exhausted by the brutal rhythms. The increasing tensions caused by cuts to healthcare soon spill into a strike, and so the staff divides in half: there are those determined to stand up for their rights by crossing their arms and those who believe that stopping the care for patients isn’t the right thing to do. Respira is a 2024 TV series where clinical cases of every kind are plentiful, but there are also turbulent love stories. As in Anesthesia, here the spotlight is on the cracks of a healthcare system brought to its limit. 2 seasons and 16 episodes, available on Netflix.
The Resident
Devon Pravesh is a young resident ready to begin his internship under the guidance of Dr. Conrad Hawkins, an experienced doctor with brusque mannerisms and innovative methods. Conrad takes little time to shatter Devon’s illusions, showing him the raw reality behind the behind-the-scenes of the hospital world, amid conflicts of interest with pharmaceutical companies and terrible mistakes swept under the rug by higher-ups. The Resident is a 2018 TV series which, like Anesthesia, centers on the clash between rebellious doctors and healthcare bureaucracy. 6 seasons and 107 episodes that you can watch on Disney+.
