Dr. Luisa "Lu" Delgado (Rosa Blasi, Noriega) runs an inner city clinic and does whatever it takes to get her poverty-stricken clients the care they need. When the two women are paired up to run the Rittenhouse Women's Health Center, they must learn to work together even with their respective approaches clearly on opposite sides of the operating table. But can they get past it? From Executive Producers Whoopi Goldberg and Tammy Ader, this long-running Lifetime series contains all 22 first season episodes on a 5 disc DVD set. .com Two strong-willed, capable female doctors with differing approaches to medicine must forge a working relationship when their practices are merged in this premier season (2000) of Lifetime television's longest running original series. All 22 episodes are included in this five-disc DVD box set beginning with the "Pilot," which introduces the characters and frenzied setting of the visceral drama. In an award-winning role, Rosa Blasi plays Dr. Luisa "Lu" Delgado who runs the inner city South Philly Women's Clinic serving a full caseload of indigent, drug addicts, and abuse victims. A straight-talking maverick, Dr. Delgado is sympathetic to the plight of her patients as she fights to keep her free clinic afloat despite financial hardships. Janine Turner (Northern Exposure, Cliffhanger) plays Dr. Dana Stowe, a polished-if-not-sterile surgeon at the prestigious Rittenhouse Hospital treating patients on the opposite side of the city and socio-economic spectrum. Practicing textbook medicine, Dr. Stowe chafes at Delgado's unconventional methods. (Turner will remain in the series until the early part of season three). A stroke of fate pairs the women to run a brand new women's heath center and, although sparks fly professionally, the doctors haltingly approach a level of understanding. The season explores a variety of women's health issues: infertility, abortion, rape, genetic testing, co-dependency, breast cancer, and right-to-die. Complex medical questions are explored from several perspectives without succumbing to quick resolutions. Undoubtedly, the series has grown in popularity because of the underpinnings established this first season. Blasi and Turner develop a compelling rapport—alternatively appreciating and opposing each other—while a supporting cast adds depth in standout performances by Josh Coxx (as nurse/midwife Peter Riggs) and Jenifer Lewis (as receptionist Lana Hawkins). Intense drama is tempered with comic relief, usually by way of Hawkin's banter and, in one case, her correct diagnosis of a patient's phobia of bald men. Season one introduces a budding romance and ends with a cliffhanger. Lending their vision are executive producers Tammy Ader and Whoopi Goldberg, who also plays a prominent role in the Pilot episode as Dr. Lydia Emerson, a women's health pioneer who returns in three additional stories. The only deficiency is the absence of bonus material: interviews, audio commentaries, or outtakes would strengthen the package. (Caution: violence, language, and adult themes). --Lynn Gibson ## Product Details - **Genre:** Drama - **Format:** Subtitled - **Contributor:** Janine Turner, Jenifer Lewis, John Flynn, Rosa Blasi - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 5 ## Images ![Strong Medicine : Season 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xtG4fTwGL.jpg) ![Strong Medicine : Season 1 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oulrD85wL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars My most favorite show *by D*** on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2023* Who do I need to talk to in order to get all 6 seasons on DVD? This is the best medical drama ever, my #1 fav ❤️ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great first season...where is the rest? *by E***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2016* I was watching old Lifetime movies and ran across a recommendation for this show. I had never seen it, but I enjoy medical dramas and ones that deal with ethical issues. I finished the season in 3 days! The only problem? There are NO OTHER seasons available on DVD or anywhere else to watch for that matter! I loved season 1, but I can't speak to any of the other ones. Since this was released in 2006 or 2008, I doubt they are putting the rest out on DVD, but I wish they would so I could follow the series for 5 more seasons. Warning: this is a great show, but if you get too attached like me, prepare to be upset that you can't see the rest! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring series *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2007* This is one of the most inspiring series that I've ever seen. I have seen in the online message boards how many young girls have written to the actresses, talking about how this show has inspired them to become doctors. Many women are out there without good medical care or the means to provide for themselves. This show inspires us women who have nothing to become something. It is also a really cool drama that will open your eyes to diseases and other health related issues in a way that ER will not. ER is more focused on the relationships between the actors, where this show is focused on the health issues and their impacts on the people's lives. A very, very good show. I've gone as far as calling Sony directly, asking them to publish the rest of the seasons! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4810238-strong-medicine-season-1](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4810238-strong-medicine-season-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
