St. Elsewhere

St. Elsewhere was an American television program that ran from 1982 to 1988. It was a medical drama based in the fictional teaching hospital of St. Elegius.

It has become famous for its frequent crossovers, as well as for its ending, in which the character Tommy Westphall is implied to have imagined every single event in the series. It is from these facts that the Tommy Westphall Hypothesis emerges, which posits that every single franchise that shares a universe with St. Elsewhere similarly exists only within Tommy Westphall's mind.
