TV Show with Medical Students from Sometime in the 1980s (Mid- to Late- ?)


I remember only one (pretty snotty) line. One of the med students had been a nurse and one of the other students says something like, "Well, I guess she'll get an A in thermometer."

I remember it because I repeated it to my mom, who was a nurse, and always felt bad that I had.

I think that might have been Nightingales (1989)

Took a look, but, no, they were definitely medical students, not nursing students. Thanks though.

Maybe “Going to Extremes”? Early nineties but about med school. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103425/

I took a look and a I don't think so. I think that setting would have stuck in my mind, though that was warmer. That actually seems like a good premise for a show, med school in the Caribbean. I just have this one impression of the new students standing around and informally introducing themselves and when the nurse does, somebody makes that snide remark to, I believe, another student, not to the nurse directly. I almost want to say that it was on videotape not film, but I don't trust my memory enough for that. As weird as it sounds, I almost picture them in some pretty stark setting, like a garage or something, standing up, maybe waiting to be shown around on the first day. If I remembered one person in it, it would be a cinch, but I don't. That line is really all I have.

Could this be it?

Whaaa...? Uh, no. I did go to high school with Paul McCrane though.

Only other medical show I can think of from the 80s was St. Elsewhere. Sorry.
