* ''[[Lost]]'' is (at least in the beginning) about people stranded on an island. Jack is a doctor. We expect Jack to tend to people on the island. What we don't expect is Jack's flashbacks to become a full-blown medical drama. Never once has ''Lost'' been described as a "medical drama".
* Lampshaded in ''[[Diagnosis: Murder]]'', a series that sticks to ''two'' popular genres: medical and crime.
* In the ''[[JAG]]'' episode ''Each of Us Angels'' is about an old man telling stories about his experience on a hospital ship during the [[World War II|storming of Iwo Jima]].
* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' season two featured a virus that was capable of disabling powers, and then killing the victim. The series had a tendency to shift into medical drama at times when it followed Mohinder, who was trying to find a cure.
