This paper explores the role of TV doctors in modern media and their impact on public perceptions of medicine. TV doctors, both fictional and real, influence audiences by shaping their understanding of medical practices, ethics, and doctor-patient relationships. While fictional doctors in popular shows often dramatize medical scenarios for entertainment, real-life TV doctors provide health advice, sometimes blurring the line between evidence-based medicine and sensationalism. The paper examines how TV doctors contribute to medical misinformation and discusses their potential benefits in raising health awareness. By analyzing their portrayal in media, this study highlights the importance of balancing entertainment with accurate medical representation.
