If we are going to agree that fictional Dr Marcus Welby is the best professional example for our students to emulate [BCMJ 2016;58:63-64 [3]], why not make the TV series a compulsory part of the med-school curriculum? But then again, maybe Marcus would only be suitable for those headed into family practice. Students destined for internal medicine specialties could watch House, the best-looking students could watch Scrubs, and any in military service would be well educated by a season or two of M*A*S*H. Here’s to our doctors of the future!
