Dear Jeff:

"St. Elsewhere" really set the template for high quality medical dramas that succceeded it like "er", Chicago Hope", & "Grey's Anatomy", & many others. Not only was it a show that could be appreciated by drama students IV its great ensemble set of actors, it could also be appreciated by medical students IV bringing the procedures & medical terms of the day forward with its excellent dialogue through the show's team of medical consultants.

Howie Mandel,

Rory
