Behind the Scenes: Doctors Who Make Medical TV Shows Realistic with Dr. Oren Gottfried
What do neurosurgery and Hollywood have in common? For Dr. Oren Gottfried, quite a lot. In this episode of The Interesting MD Podcast, host Dr. Rob Beck sits down with the Duke neurosurgeon who’s consulted on more than 70 medical dramas, including The Good Doctor and Chicago Med.
They explore how Dr. Gottfried helps writers shape stories, reviews scripts line by line, and even steps into occasional acting roles—all while balancing a demanding surgical career. He shares candid insights on accuracy vs. entertainment, the power of medical storytelling, and why this creative work is less about money and more about inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals.
A fascinating look at the intersection of medicine, creativity, and culture.
