What is Good Sam about?
Good Sam is a medical that centres on Dr Sam Griffith, a talented healthcare professional who specialises in heart surgery at Lakeshore Sentinel Hospital. However, her work takes a sudden stressful turn, when her "pompous" boss, Dr Rob Griffith – who happens to be her father – falls into a coma.
Sam then steps up and finds herself flourishing as Chief of Surgery, but things get a little more complicated when her Dad wakes up and wants to return to work – meaning she'd be her father's superior. Sounds intriguing, right?
