My most favorite show
Who do I need to talk to in order to get all 6 seasons on DVD? This is the best medical drama ever, my #1 fav ❤️

Great first season...where is the rest?
I was watching old Lifetime movies and ran across a recommendation for this show. I had never seen it, but I enjoy medical dramas and ones that deal with ethical issues. I finished the season in 3 days! The only problem? There are NO OTHER seasons available on DVD or anywhere else to watch for that matter! I loved season 1, but I can't speak to any of the other ones. Since this was released in 2006 or 2008, I doubt they are putting the rest out on DVD, but I wish they would so I could follow the series for 5 more seasons. Warning: this is a great show, but if you get too attached like me, prepare to be upset that you can't see the rest!

An inspiring series
This is one of the most inspiring series that I've ever seen. I have seen in the online message boards how many young girls have written to the actresses, talking about how this show has inspired them to become doctors. Many women are out there without good medical care or the means to provide for themselves. This show inspires us women who have nothing to become something. It is also a really cool drama that will open your eyes to diseases and other health related issues in a way that ER will not. ER is more focused on the relationships between the actors, where this show is focused on the health issues and their impacts on the people's lives. A very, very good show. I've gone as far as calling Sony directly, asking them to publish the rest of the seasons!

Best Medical Series Ever!
I never missed an episode of Strong Medicine ever! When the series was cancelled, I was devastated. When I found Season 1 on Amazon, I had to buy it. As soon as it arrived, I watched the entire season (I was up for a while). I wish the other seasons were available so I can purchase those, too.My favorite character is Lu because she's no nonsense and doesn't let anyone intimidate her. Lana and Peter are also favorites. At first, Dana comes across as snobbish and stuffy but, as the show progresses, she warms up a lot. If the other seasons ever become available, I'll definitely buy them.I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys medical dramas about women's issues.

It's about time, a show of this quality was placed on DVD
It's no surprise that Stong Medicine, has lasted so long on Lifetime, from episode one it was evident that this show was not just another medical show. Strong Medicine has strength and courage of the female kind. It's not very often we see a show so full of passion, conviction, and focus to educate women as well as men of the importance of womens health, physically and emotionally. Rosa Blasi character of "Dr Luisa Delgado", is so moving. It's performances like Rosa Blasi, Jenifer Lewis, and Joshua Cox that keep me on the edge of my seat. I love the show and I can't wait for the rest of the seasons to be available on DVD.....It's great and I can't wait.

A Strong Positive Message
This series is great because it sends a positive message to woman of different ages and nationalities. Unlike other medical dramas, it manages to keep a good balance between the cases and the characters' personal lives. All the cases feels very real and the solutions very plausible.I bought this DVD for my best friend who has loved Strong Medicine for years. She is very happy with her DVD set and was so excited that she watched the entire season in two days. The only bad thing is that there are no more seasons on DVD. We can only wish that they will release more in the neat future.

Loved it
This was an engrossing and surprisingly addictive set of DVDs. I had a free weekend a few weeks ago, and I ended up watching almost the entire season in a few days! For the most part the story lines were engaging and, at times, downright heartbreaking (the one with the aids-stricken mother and child really comes to mind).But the absolute best thing about the show (as much of it as I saw, anyway) was the two leads. Both terrific actresses and great characters. It was special to see such dynamo personalities butting heads and ultimately striking up a real kinship. Patricia Richardson was fantastic as the driven and anal but always caring Dr. Dana Stowe (and reminded me how much I want to see Northern Exposure) but this show belongs to Rosa Blasi. As a fiesty Puerto-Rican single mother with a passsion for helping girls and women beaten by the system, she glows with humor, ferocity and compassion. I didn't always agree with her take on things, but I did end up wanting to meet someone like her in person in a pretty bad way. Her scenes with her teenage son are my favorite parts of the show.C'mon guys, get the rest of it on DVD already! Or at least the second season! Please?
