Help me find a Spanish-language medical drama

Help me find a Spanish-language medical drama to improve my Spanish. Bonus points if it's available free and legally on-line (Hulu etc.) or via Netflix. I'm not looking for a telenovela - I would prefer something like ER or Chicago Hope. I've already seen some of Destinos. Spanish-subtitled episodes of ER, etc. would be a second choice. Please, save my patients from my gringa Spanish!

I literally just saw a commercial for the spanish language version of Grey's Anatomy out of Columbia called A Corazon Abierto.

Not sure where you are, but my local continuing education program offers Spanish lessons for the medical professional. You might check in your area.

There's a popular show in Spain called Hospital Central, which is said to be Spain's answer to ER. There are a lot of episode segments uploaded to Youtube. Obviously, as with any English-language medical drama, you are going to get more lessons in how to handle inappropriate romantic entanglements and coworker conflict than you are actual medical terminology and the basic formalities of doctor-patient interaction.

my local public library has a 2-volume audio recording of medical spanish. I learned all the bones, muscles, major organs and body systems in a couple days. comes with a book, and a series of exam-room dialogues.

I think it was this one, but there's a bunch out there
