In your daily dose of feel-good news, its come to our attention that TV medical dramas have been donating their prop masks, gowns, and other doctory stuff to local hospitals. Fox’s super-popular TV Drama, “The Resident”, gave boxes of personal protective equipment to Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital last Wednesday.

"Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." . To the entire team @theresidentonfox, thank you for this incredibly generous donation of #PPE from your set, including gowns, masks, gloves, and all the things our healthcare workers need to provide safe care for our community during #COVID19. . Yesterday, I had a serious discussion with the residents about how, though supplies are low, a magical shipment of masks is unlikely to arrive. And yet, a magical shipment of masks DID arrive, in the form of this very generous gesture. This kind of community support means so much to our #frontlineproviders who are making many sacrifices to staff our hospitals and care for our community. . Thank you, @theresidentonfox and @foxtv for being helpers. We needed this kind of good news today. . PS: Sorry it's not a great pic, but the focus was not on the photo at the time. Similarly, the team @theresidentonfox are good citizens doing good deeds and not looking for a shout out. Though I encourage all to support The Resident and the great team behind the show and to pay their good deed forward any way you can. . #Hurstlife #residentlife #emoryIMresidents #lookforthehelpers #gratitude

“Thank you for this incredibly generous donation of #PPE from your set, including gowns, masks, gloves, and all the things our healthcare workers need to provide safe care for our community during #COVID19,” Dr. Karen Law, a rheumatologist at the hospital, wrote on Instagram.

We’re seeing gestures such as this echoed from other shows such as the ABC’s “The Good Doctor” and The “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff “Station 19” which have been donating their props to local hospitals and fire departments.

If that doesn’t give you a warm fuzzy feeling, I don’t know what will.
