There's something truly enchanting about medical professionals, which may explain why the whole world went crazy for medical dramas in the late 90s, when countless iconic shows about doctors premiered.

However, shows like "House M.D.," "E.R.," and "Grey's Anatomy" have clearly gotten a bit overhyped, leaving fans wanting to check out less popular medical dramas.

Here are 10 underrated medical dramas:

Less than a decade ago, the dominance of the medical drama on network television seemed as absolute as possible, with dozens of shows starring doctors premiering each new year.

Recently, however, the fan obsession with dangerous illnesses and hospital drama has essentially ceased to exist, with only a few long-running shows about doctors still on the air.

However, the back catalog of medical TV dramas will live on, as all of the shows on this list are not only worth watching, but are even better at capturing the lives of doctors than smash hits like "House M.D." and "Grey's Anatomy."

It's a shame that most of them were severely underrated by viewers when they first premiered, resulting in them being canceled far too soon, but at least people are now reevaluating them and praising their unique approaches to banal medical drama scenarios.
