To save Hollywood Hospital from bankruptcy, the administrator turns the hospital into a production studio for medical reality shows, combining real patients with wise-cracking doctors and laugh tracks. As the success of M.D.TV skyrockets, patient care goes down the toilet in this offbeat, irreverent and satiric over the top comedy.

SYNOPSIS:

COMMENTS BY SCRIPT READER: "This is that rare script that starts moving on Page 3 and doesn't stop for breath until half-way in. With a concept over the top, the writer has a genuine wit and a flair for satire that creates multiple scenes that most times are a combination of black humor, the truly bizarre and even a kind of secret wisdom. This is because the farce is grounded in the sometimes weird reality of human nature."

Hollywood Hospital is losing money. Appreciating the public's insatiable appetite for reality TV programming, K.G. Hackman, the hospital administrator, creates M.D.TV, the first 24-hour reality television medical-entertainment network, offering the public a full slate of sitcoms, one hour dramas, soap operas, quiz shows and movies of the week combining real-life operations and medical procedures with wise-cracks and commentaries from the narcissistic, self-absorbed surgeons and doctors. M.D. TV scores big-time financially with several blockbuster hits, including "The Sound of Mucous," “Operation: Impossible,” "Bedpans of the Rich and Famous," "Days of Our Livers," "ER Meets Godzilla," “The Final Urinalysis,” and “Lethal Tampon."

Amidst all of this, there are intertwining subplots among supporting characters, and an ample supply of irreverent comedy assaults, as well as a romantic relationship/character arc for the protagonist, Joe Collins (a medical resident and protégé to M.D.TV superstar/surgeon Dr. Major Kilgore), who supports M.D.TV, with visions of dollars and fame dancing in his head.

But when Joe falls for Julie Godwin, an idealistic research assistant who works in Professor Von Whipple’s weird research lab, and deplores the negative impact M.D.TV is having on patient care, he starts to have second thoughts. When he becomes more influenced by Julie and starts to see MD.TV through her eyes, he realizes his misplaced priorities, ends his involvement with M.D.TV and eventually brings it down.
