As far as realism goes, it's not even in the running, but have you seen any St Elsewhere? Another wacky drama-all-the-time entry in the medical entertainment genre is ER. Both shows incubated popular actors and they all seem to have lost their hair as they became established.
The most realistic medical show I've seen is Trust Me, where nurse Jodie Whittaker impersonates a doctor while escaping an abusive husband (while no abuse is shown on screen; its impact echoes throughout the show). Oh, and she's blown the whistle on shady dealings in the NHS. It's mostly about medical power politics.
