Sorry to burst your bubble, thelibrarian_oook, but the other commenter HAD a point. Strong Medicine's greatest flaw is its absolute misandry, since men are too often portrayed as being either too evil or too stupid to be real and women are practically always right and perfect whether they're victims or justice fighters.One example was the ridiculous break-up of Andy and Leslie, where a man who was an excellent person and even better husband for 30 years was transformed into an angry bastard for the sake of Andy angst. I felt cheated about such a thing, anbd since then I skipped all the parts referring to it. Another example is Dr. Bob Jackson, always opposing to Lu and practically ALWAYS losing to a man lady who started out very well and ended up as a borderline Mary Sue, always screaming and always being right and never really learning a lesson if she was not.Remember, script writers! Wimpification and villanization of men =/= empowerment of women. I'm a female and a feminist, but I HATE how show writers think that feminism is about forcing the stupid and evil men to bow to the power of the holy vagina. Misandry is just as bad as misogyny and the reason why feminists aren't taken seriously.--- Maria.

Produced by Whoopi Goldberg, Strong Medicine is an immensely popular show, currently starring Rosa Blasi and Patricia Richardson. Both are very strong actresses. The rest of the cast is peppered with interesting characters and good acting as well. Jenifer Hawkins is particularly enjoyable as Lana, who always speaks of herself in the third person. The talented Phil Casnoff plays the head of the hospital.Strong Medicine is a real women's show, and why not - it's on Lifetime, after all. It's preachy and talky as all get-out. Somehow it manages to entertain quite often with compelling stories. It just hits its messages a little too hard. But I imagine if you don't have much medical education and you're a fan of this show's, you've picked up a lot of valuable information. That is, after all, one of its objectives, and it succeeds admirably.

This show is REALLY good. Just fantastic! I think Lu is definitely the best..... Only the fact that all her patients call her "Lu" and not Dr. Delgado makes her cool. Unfortunately we're behind here.... Anyway, there's no more I can tell about this show. It's just a great show.

In this TV program, EVERYTHING goes over the top. A woman gets breast cancer and everyone cries, later the doctor reveals that her mother died from breast cancer, a few minutes after that another doctors mom gets diagnosed with breast cancer and they all cry together. This is what this show is like, they copy other shows with the drama we have seen hundreds of times before and just add little on to that making it cheesy and lame. The actresses are crap, overacting everything and always looking like they just spent in the chair having a make-up artist work on them, no wait actually that really is the case here they just did that. It´s also clear that this show is a feminist propaganda, which Whoopy Goldberg is behind.Dreadful. 3/10
