What happens

Royal Pains is an American comedy-drama television series that ran on the USA Network from 2009 to 2016. The series is based in part on contemporary concierge medicine practices of independent doctors and companies and follows Hank Lawson, an unfairly discredited but brilliant diagnostic surgeon, who moves to the Hamptons with his brother Evan as he works as a concierge doctor to the uber rich and ultra elite. The cast of the show includes Mark Feuerstein, Paulo Costanzo, Reshma Shetty, Brooke D'Orsay, Ben Shenkman, Jill Flint, and Campbell Scott. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
