The bigger jolt is Blair Underwood’s Dr. Ben Grant, the brilliant trauma and cardiothoracic surgeon introduced in the season 2 finale – a man with a past with Amy that she can’t remember (due to the car crash that scrambled eight years of memories).
Other fan favorites return, including Ben, who has plans to reshape surgery, while Jake and TJ settle into new hospital roles. Season 3 runs 22 episodes on Fox so settle in.

Is "Doc" based on the experiences of a real life doctor?
Yes. Dr. Pierdante Piccioni was the former hospital emergency room chief in Lodi and Codogno (Italy) who forgot the previous 12 years of his life after a car accident in 2013. The U.S. show "Doc" is based on the Italian series "Doc – Nelle tue mani" based on his story. You can watch the Italian version of "Doc" season 3 for free on SBS in Australia.
