In a natural and easy-to-read manner, The seventh season of Virgin River will delve into Doc’s struggle to preserve the clinic, despite the cloud of his own investigation hanging over him. Actor Tim Matheson doesn’t find it entirely “unrealistic.

As a die-hard fan of Virgin River, you’ve probably heard the buzz about the suspenseful ending of Doc’s storyline in Season 6. In case you missed it, he’s now under scrutiny by Grace Valley Hospital for performing an emergency operation on a patient trapped in a remote cabin.

As a gamer, I’m on edge about the latest twist in Season 6. It seems like they’re planning to seize control of Doc’s clinic entirely, disguising their move under the guise of an investigation. The outcome is still unclear, but it’s got everyone speculating and feeling uneasy.

On various social media platforms, some viewers find the plot of Season 6 unrealistic and not how it would unfold in actuality. However, as portrayed by actor Tim Matheson (Doc), the character’s journey remains grounded in real-life authenticity.

Doc’s Virgin River story grounded in “inside knowledge”

To TopMob, Matheson elaborated: “I believe it’s great drama, and we strive to maintain a sense of realism. The medical research conducted by our writers and showrunners is incredibly deep, so they consult professionals extensively about the situations to make sure they’re as authentic as possible.

While it’s less frequent, my interactions with and literature on rural physicians suggest that their scope of work is broader compared to what they might experience within a hospital or urban clinic setting.

During Season 6, Doc and Denny stumbled across Henry – a critically ill man who was unable to reach Grace Valley in time for treatment. To save his life, Doc immediately conducted an emergency brain operation on the spot and then transported him to hospital physicians afterwards.

Upon his arrival, it was disclosed that Doctor Doc faced an investigation, which could result in him losing his medical license due to conducting surgeries without proper authorization.

As a gamer, I find myself questioning the logic of this scenario: “Is this narrative believable?” One Redditor posted. “In the show, Dr. Doc’s medical license is under investigation due to actions at Grace Valley Hospital, initiated by Dr. Hayes. However, in a critical life-or-death situation, Doc called the hospital for a video consultation but lost connection. Consequently, he performed an emergency burr procedure outside of Grace Valley. The patient wasn’t admitted there yet. So, how can Grace Valley be held responsible for actions taken independently by Doc?

It’s now known that there’s a hidden purpose behind the main plotline which hasn’t been disclosed yet, and it’s expected to be a significant focus in Season 7. For now, this situation clearly showcases the unique qualities that make “Doc” who he is as a character (playing on words, if you will).

Matheson stated, “I believe Doc left Seattle primarily because he yearned to return to his medical practice and aid individuals. As the head of Seattle General, he had access to deep insights about patients which enables him to provide more effective care.
