Strong Medicine was an American medical drama televison series with a focus on feminist politics, health issues and class conflict that ran on the Lifetime network from
   2000 to 2006. It starred Rosa Blasi, Janine Turner and Patricia Richardson. It brings together the worlds of two completely different doctors, Dr. Luisa "Lu" Delgado and
   Dr. Dana Stowe. Lu is a single mom running a free clinic in the inner-city. Dana is a Harvard graduate and top female health specialist. The two come together when Dr.
   Lydia Emerson wants to combine Rittenhouse Hospital's practice with Lu's financially failing clinic to provide the best care for the patients of both doctors. Delgado also
   hosts a support group. As a friend and a doctor to many lower-class patients, Lu regularly comes face-to-face with bitterly ironic situations due to their difficulties. Her
   character exhibits a perennial cleverness, allowing her to provide positive outcomes from seemingly hopeless cases. Stowe is an ambitious doctor and scientist seeking a
cure for breast cancer. She's rigid and stoic, but cares deeply about her patients. After Stowe left, Lu's new partner and replacement was Dr. Andy Campbell. She was a former military doctor
with a Colonel rank, a general surgeon and a West Point graduate, with a 27 year career. The staff and visitors tend to be racially, politically, and economically diverse. A core class/political
duality in the episodes' storylines tend to be driven by comparisons, contrasts and cooperation between liberal Delgado and her fellow coworkers, who sees paying patients and has more conservative values. The characters are often placed in ironic, soul-searching situations, forced to question the solidity of their personal beliefs or fight for what they believe in.
