Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy may be banned in Italy

According to TV Squad, a leading doctor's group in Italy is so upset by the inaccuracies in American medical shows such as Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, ER and House, that they believe Italian broadcasters should refrain from airing these shows at all, lest they prompt people to take medicine into their own hands.

"Annalisa Silvestro, president of the NFMC says that "These programs are teaching viewers inaccurate views on medicine," and that "They are spreading misinformation."

However there's no word so far as to whether or not Italian broadcasters are actually taking this seriously."
