Doogie Howser, M.D. was an American medical drama television series that ran for four seasons on ABC from September 19, 1989, to March 24, 1993. It starred Neil
   Patrick Harris in the title role as a teenage physician who balanced the challenge of practicing medicine with the everyday problems of teenage life. Dr. Douglas 'Doogie' 
   Howser survived early-stage pediatric leukemia as a child, and the experience contributed to his desire to enter medicine. Possessing a genius intellect and an eidetic
   memory, he earned a perfect score on the SAT at age six, completed high school in nine weeks at age nine, graduated from Princeton University at age 10, and finished
   medical school four years later. At age 14, Howser was the youngest licensed doctor in the country. The series began on Howser's 16th birthday, with him stopping his
   field test for his driver's license to help an injured person at the scene of a traffic accident. Howser is a second-year resident surgeon at Eastman Medical Center in L.A,
and still lives at home. His best friend and neighbor, Vinnie Delpino, is a more typical teenager and connects him to life outside of medicine. Howser kept a diary and episodes typically end
with him making an entry in it, making observations about the situations he had experienced or learned. Howser seeks acceptance from both kids his age, and his professional colleagues.
Many episodes also deal with wider social problems: AIDS awareness, racism, homophobia, sexism, gang violence, access to quality medical care, and losing one's virginity are topics, along
with aging, body issues, and friendship.
