Not only are our fave medical shows saving lives on TV, they’re also saving lives in real life! Due to the coronavirus panic and hospitals’ critical shortage of protective gear, FOX’s The Resident and ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy have donated N95 masks, gowns and gloves to combat the pandemic. Grady Memorial Hospital’s Dr. Karen Law took to Instagram to show her appreciation for The Resident’s much needed donation.

“Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” . To the entire team @theresidentonfox, thank you for this incredibly generous donation of #PPE from your set, including gowns, masks, gloves, and all the things our healthcare workers need to provide safe care for our community during #COVID19. . Yesterday, I had a serious discussion with the residents about how, though supplies are low, a magical shipment of masks is unlikely to arrive. And yet, a magical shipment of masks DID arrive, in the form of this very generous gesture. This kind of community support means so much to our #frontlineproviders who are making many sacrifices to staff our hospitals and care for our community. . Thank you, @theresidentonfox and @foxtv for being helpers. We needed this kind of good news today. . PS: Sorry it’s not a great pic, but the focus was not on the photo at the time. Similarly, the team @theresidentonfox are good citizens doing good deeds and not looking for a shout out. Though I encourage all to support The Resident and the great team behind the show and to pay their good deed forward any way you can. . #Hurstlife #residentlife #emoryIMresidents #lookforthehelpers #gratitude

Other productions are expected to follow suit such as ABC’s The Good Doctor who plans to donate to hospitals in Vancouver.
