Whatever Hollywood produces in medical dramas, one thing is constant: doctors and nurses are always stunningly beautiful. They are impeccably groomed and stylish even during the most stressful working hours. The reality for healthcare professionals is quite different. They put in long hours in stressful environments, and their looks often reflect the demands of their job. In The Resident, Matt Czuchery's Dr. Conrad Hawkins and his colleagues are often shown looking impeccable, even during long and grueling shifts.
