Could be, but the production value was obviously of the cheap, daytime soap opera style. Gotta love the cheesy soap opery dialogue, too: "If you're not cold and hard and tough enough to justify the faith and confidence of your patients, then you can hand me your stethoscope, Rocky." I always get a chuckle out of that scene, although I don't think that's what they were going for.
What's also interesting about that TV scene is that four actors are credited on IMDB: Young TV Lawyer, Young TV Doctor, Senior TV doctor, and Older TV Lawyer.
